Entity Scott Walker spoke thus: > I am considering reverting my '82 Westy with incomplete I-4 1.8 gas engine to > 1.6 diesel power.

I recall hearing that > the injection pumps are different, but can the Golf injection pump be used? Yes, assuming it is the normally aspirated version. The only difference is the angle the throttle arm bends at. The car arm bends up but on the Vanagon that would interfere with the engine lid. You need to remove the lever and heat it with a torch to bend it down. -- Gnarlie
