re
The 80’s VW diesel was manufactured here in the States and so were
the VDO
gauges in your Vanagon

The car, not the engine or trans.

I believe round headlight rabbits are german made in that era.
and the square headlight ones are the ones made in Pennsylvania.

even the batter cables look purely American on those.
but the engine and trans were german produced....pretty sure anyway.

that was the first example of a foreign manufacturer having a car
assembly
plant here , btw.
Now most, or many of them do it.
and I think quality suffers from making them here too.
