Subject:Parts needed... Looking for some diesel bits or a cheap WBX in southern Ontario
From:Greg Potts

Hi Volks,

Back on Sunday my wife's 88 wolfsburg weekender put a rod through the
top of the case. I have to get this dealt with ASAP.

I have two options... I can replace it with another waterboxer or I can
use the diesel conversion parts and engine that I had been planning to
install into my own bus later this summer.

To replace the WBX simply requires a 1.9 or 2.1 longblock with good
compression. I have all the cooling and FI components required.

To complete the parts list for the conversion I don't need much, just a
diesel starter and exhaust hanger brackets.

If anyone has these for sale, please let me know.

Happy Trails,

Greg Potts
