all right guys, time to learn german.
the link below has videos of last years german syncro pimp my ride, its way
over an hour of footage.
there is also a transcript of the text, so you can use your favorite
translator on that.

So far I have seen parts 1-7, and note the following interesting mods:
-the snorkel with cyclone filter that you can just dump out
-they change from a dual-mass flywheel(???) to a single one, whats that
about?
-they seal up the engine-tranny connection to protect the tranny from dust
-they put hydrodampers in the motor mnounts to make the diesel smooth -
sounds like a great idea for any engine?
