<< I've never seen a Tiico conversion in person, but judging by the

 any Vanagon from 83.5-91.  If so, they would have to be using 2
 different types of hoses, one for the 83-85 engines with the steel
 coolant pipes, and a different hose set for the 86+ engines with the
 plastic pipes.  The 1982 diesel coolant pipes and hoses are unique and
 incompatible with later models. >>

If that's the case, I wonder if they will fit my 1990 16" Syncro with a 1.6td?
