> Well, on one hand I remember Oettinger in the RSA having a  fairly close
relationship with VWSA and the Oettinger 2.5 WBX was offered as a something
like a factory-approved convesion (used to have the brochure).  I do have a
VW T3 sales brochure from 1992, probably the second year of the "big
window"  van and at this time the WBX is discontinued for I4 and I5 options
and Syncro is not listed. My recollection is that at that time Syncro was in
fact still available but somewhat on a special order basis....and ONLY with
the 2.1 WBX!

So I don't really know what this thing is, either- other than I do want one,
too.
