Has anyone checked out the new VW TDI (Turbo Direct Injection) diesel? (Well, read about it anyway, as its not here yet). 90hp@4000rpm, 149lb.ft.@1900rpm. Estimated 40/50 mpg (City/Highway). Top speed of 111 mph. 0-30 on par with 16-V GTI. Nearly as quiet as a gasoline engine. Wonder if I could adapt it to my dying '81 Vanagon. ;-) Bob Hufford \\ // "...in the GROOVE" \\ \\// // '60 Double-Door Panel General Registry Of Ozarks' \\ \/ // '69 Bus (Sunroof) Volkswagen Enthusiasts \\ //\\ // '81 Vanagon (Sunroof) bhufford@ozarks.sgcl.lib.mo.us \\/ \\/ '61, '63, '67 Bus Bones
