Dear list, I hope that this makes it to the vanagon list since I am not subscribed. I currently own a 74 Westy and am subscribed to the type 2 list. I am looking at an 82 diesel vanagon and I was on the vanagon page and read that the major disadvantage to the diesel is the lack of power, but owning a 1800 automatic, I am fairly used to that. My question here is; besides the lack of power, can diesel owners give me the pros and cons of this vehicle? I would sincerely appreciate any imput on this subject. Ed Woenker ewoenker@ctlnet.com |
