I'm confused.
Still looking for a very good vanagon, I've been to some
traders in Wolfsburg yesterday to look what kind of busses
they've got for sale. One had a '90 Bluestar (as hannover
edition) TD with an
ABT intercooler fitted, quite rare conversion. The
condition was not too good, so I looked at the next trader.
There was a '90 Turbo-Diesel AUTOMATIC for sale. I thought,
they made a mistake on the 4sale-sticker and had a good
look on it- IT WAS AUTOMATIC TD!

Up to yesterday I was sure VW never made this combination
and always thought, a conversion couldn't be done because
of the complete different shapes of the flywheel /
torque-converter houses. But there it is.
The car was not good enough for what I want to do with it,
but what is it?
Can anybody tell me, what I've seen? Is it possible to
install a straight 4 (or 5) VW engine to the automatic
tranny in the vanagon?
Are there any kits available? Helmut, what do you think?

Many thanks for your help
