I stopped by =

my local vw dealer to confirm the news about

vanagon I-4 engine conversions, and to take a look at

the bulletin, as they called it, with my own eyes.

As it turns out, they are selling Tiico conversions which 

they are buying from Tiico, and installing in their shop,

with 12 12 warranty. Here's the Tiico website:

/A>

The downside is there is no nationwide VWoA dealer support yet.

However, our local vw dealer does back up the Tiico conversion.



Had a conversation with the parts manager, and he said VWoA 

can't get enough good waterboxer cores, and they don't want

to retool to produce new waterboxer engines.

So VWoA will not be building any rebuilt or new waterboxer engines

in the future. Some vw dealers still have some in stock.

So as an individual vw dealer, Hanson Motors, (360) 943-2120,

in Olympia, Washington decided to sell and install Tiico engines.

They said they have a lot of customers with vanagons that need 

new engines, and they had to do something for them.

Sorry for any misunderstandings.
