I'm not sure  on the 5spds motor mounts, but i know in the 4spds you
have to modify the drivers side motor mount to carrier bar for it to fit
a Jetta/golf turbo unit..

a Quantum TD fits, <closely> with the stock cast alum motor mounts. and
can drain nicely into the oilpan base.

also I've seen at least 1 image of a Jetta TD into a camper and the air
intake rubber coupler tube sits VERY.. VERY close to the road surface..

my quantum TD can be routed safely higher then the engine carrier
crossbar.

Hi gang...

I'm looking to understand what the original engine/trans would have
been
on my diesel Westie...I believe both have been changed by the PO...he
got less than 1500 miles out of the $3400 used engine...the bill had a
$65 welding charge for the oil pump, so I'll be looking for one of
those
for sure...

#1. I have a 5 speed in mine...all I've ever seen is 4 speeds...is
there
any physical visual differences between the 4 & 5 speed
trannies...I've
never seen them side by each...

#2. I have availability of two engines to put into this rig...an 86
TD,
and a 92 non TD...I'm wondering if the original block was TD or non
TD...I know the TDs I've had apart in the past were cast with TD1.6(or
something similar) on the block at the back, and there were oil
squirters in the gallery that shoot oil up on the bottom of the
pistons
to keep them cool(I think this would be a good thing in a Bus)....I've
also been told the early TD is too large a turbo/manifold package to
install in a Vanagon without "reworking" the body, so I'm thinking of
swapping the TD bottom end putting the non turbo top end on....does
this
sound workable?

I'm open to input from any quarter.....$.02  Canadian...
