I just met a tourist from Norway who has Magirus - Deuz 4-inline diesel in
the Westy and 297,000 km on that engine with not a single problem. He told
me that in old days ( 40 + years ago )  one could get excellent Kloeckner -
Gumboldt diesel
55 - 65 hp diesels (used in tractors) which were compact to be installed in
Vanagons. As usually happens companies making exc. products both went down .
