This information is scattered all over the web, unfortunately.  However,
there are a couple of concentrations of information.  My favorites are the
following sources (in random order)

www.vanagon.com -->Info and Syncro/Teknika sections
http://gerry.vanagon.com/files/
http://www.loam.org/vw/
http://www.loam.org/vw/Vanagon/VanagonProTraining/DigiFant/

http://www3.sympatico.ca/huotx/engine1.htm

Those are just some of the most recent places I have "browsed".  There are
TONS of other great sites with specific information.
