Here's the TDI stats, for all diesel-freaks (& the merely curious). From "Volkswagen Audi CAR" a British mag. The article is on the Golf GL TDI, with the following: (edited for brevity) Type Direct-injected, intercooled turbo diesel Displacement 1896cc Bore/Stroke 79.5x95.5mm Output: 90bhp(66kW)@4000rpm Max. Torque: 149lb-ft(202Nm)@1900rpm MPG 55mpg.(5.1L/100km) Max Mpg. 75mpg(!?)(3.8L/100km) Max. Speed: 110mph 0-50 7.5 sec 0-60 10.2 sec
As you can see, it's pretty impressive. Imagine bolting one of these to your vanagon. In the pictures it looks no bigger than the motor in my '92 Jetta, which is no bigger than yer average Rabbit diesel motor. Who knows? Maybe the 2.4TDI would fit--wheelies in your vanagon!
