Hey there, I'm looking to buy a 1.6 turbo engine for my 82 vanagon. Optimally it would be in running condition but a rebuild project could be fun as well.
Thanks

Hey Andrew, Let me know if you have any information in the difference between a vanagon 1.6 turbo and any other 1.6 turbo. Quality german auto down in so cal is importing some nice low mileage motors from germany and lists the 1.6 turbos in a category of either vanagon specific or any other. The van...

Sticking with the 1.9 was the original plan but as I'm seeing how much needs to be replaced and remanned it is seeming much more complicated and pricey to find the parts and get the motor running. The feeling at this point was that I could pick up a pretty solid used 1.6 T and get moving with a lot ...

So I'm up in sebastopol, ca.....I have an 82 diesel vanagon-the only thing is that I bought it for a steal from someone half way through a rebuild on a 1.9 NA that had been upgraded from the previous owner. They had somehow had an accident, lost all the oil from the oil pan, and fried the engine. Th...

Is there something different that is required for the vanagon? Looking to put the 1.6 T in the van but want to make sure I have all my info correct before I purch...

Yea I picked up a 82 diesel vanagon with the engine in pieces, basically a surrendered project that I lucked out on picking up on. Excited to get the van back on the road but having problems finding any parts for this engine. I think I finally found a place in canada that has most of the parts I nee...

I'm definately in favor of the two tank systems as it separates the two fuel systems and allows for the option to switch back if need be. Also it is optimal to have your veg heated and in the single tank land you are primarily starting up on cold veg. Though theoretically the injection pump and inje...

Hey there, so I've got a 1.9 NA in pieces right now and in the process of a rebuild and a buddy of mine has pistons, head, and rods from a 1.9TD that I would like to grab. Only question is whether they are universal from the 1.9TD to the 1.9 NA. I'm assuming that they are the same size but rated for...
