Fiber optics? Perhaps for the CAN bus... can't see rays of light going to
each sensor or even major components on the engine though - just not cost
effective or practical.  Last time I checked, the battery doesn't emit light
so there has to be a 12V controlled interface somewhere... anything is
possible.

of course.....

I also have high hopes that the new Subaru Diesel will be a bolt on to the
existing subaru adapter
plate.  As I understand it! its vanagon adaptability is a function of
whether the subaru diesel
uses fiber-optics or wires,  wires can be adapted, fiber optics can't (so
easily) be adapted to
the vanagon.  Anyone have any updated information??

I prefer diesel, but I'm following the Zetec conversion.   Bernd J�ger
(Germany) reports the
following l/100 Kms:
1.9L TDI:--8 to 11 ltr/100 kms.
V6 TDI: ---10 to 13 ltr/100 kms
