Hello,
I have an SVO tank for your car. It's a 6.5 gallon marine tank with a steel welded heat exchanger fitted to it. The coolant flows through the heat exchanger, heating the oil. Small size perfect for VW hatch backs, delivers around 300 miles to a tank. Price =$100

I want to research what size larger tires people are using to combat this. A tranny swap is not going to happen on ...

I'll work on getting some pics up soon. Thanks Andrew for the experienced insight. The oil pan is at least 1/4", and I thought that would be sufficient. But maybe you're right. I should beef it up by welding another plate of alluminum or a 3/8" npt alluminum coupling in. I don't think I wo...

I've got both motors out, and I'm in the process of swaping things over. Changing glow plugs, timing belt, gaskets, and probably water pump. This engine has a small kkk turbo, but still interferes with the stock diesel vanagon DS engine mount. I plan on using the stock jetta engine mount, bolted to ...
