Now is the time to purchase a new '83-'91 style radiator, temp sensor, and
fan.  The 1982 diesel Vanagon radiator is unique and expensive.  The cost of
the conversion is almost certain to be less than the 1982 radiator alone.  A
small and simple modification to the wiring harness is required for the
newer temperature sensor.

Subject: 1982 Diesel Radiator

I know that the same motor was used in some other models of VW how about the
radiators. I have the original and had the Radiator Shop repair it. They
said it was so brittle that they could not guarantee their work. Before I go
to all the work to put it back in I am checking my options. There are no
diesels in junkyards in this state (Nebraska) That I could find. Options?
Help? A shoulder to cry on?
