Good day  all,

didn't get many suggestions as to which radio to put
in my  Westy. One of them was the JVC KD-SX980 which
seems a good choice to me.  I'll keep an eye opened
(ebay or local classifieds...) for a good used  one.

But now I'm also looking at the new generations of
radios that  have a usb port or memory card slot...

I found out that the motor on my  van (motor is MV
000687) must be a real 2.1 as it does have the  oil
sensor below the water pump.

Now my questions are: how does a  2.1l motor run with
the digijet that was developed and tuned for the  1.9l
motor? Is there a real benefit in running a stock 2.1l
with the  digijet setup?

Marcel, welcome to Vanagonmania.  That 2.1  engine set up with the Digijet 
you have is not that rare and has been seen  before.  One of the interesting 
things about this set up is that you can  now install a Eurospec, Digijet ECU 
which was used in the European market where  emissions and CATs were more lax or 
non existent.  The simple installation  of this ECU will give you a 25% 
increase in HP albeit with a reduction in gas  mileage.  It does not read the OXY 
sensor so that circuit will no  longer be needed.  I have two of these ECU's in 
stock - ECU, Eurospec,  Digijet, 025 906 021 E - $395.00 - from my _Vanagon 
Items Forsale_ (http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/sales.htm)   webpage.  If your 
interested there is a VW Camper Camping event put on by  
_http://www.mononc-en-folie.com/_ (http://www.mononc-en-folie.com/)   in  St-Andr�-Avellin, West of 
Montreal toward Gatineau.  I'm going there late  this afternoon and would be 
happy to meet you there and see your new ride.   Should be a hop - skip - and a 
jump from Napierville.
 
Cheers,
