Hello Volks,
Yesterday I finally got my complete almost new 1.9L TDI engine which will find its place in my Syncro Vanagon. I have all the cable clusters and accessories and even the instrument cluster from the 98 Passat where it came from. This way I can also check the actual mileage once I find the right connector for the digital displays. The instruments seem to fit in the centre of the vanagon's panel which gives me some more ideas to think about.
I will do the actual conversion when it is a bit warmer and dryer again. In the meantime I have a lot of time for thinking and planning and tinkering: extended anticipation.
I will mount the engine in a more upright position and extend the engine cover accordingly. The electrical part looks like a few hours of work ....
I just wanted to share.
