<< thanks for the info.  But let me get this straight, SA Vanagons come from
 the factory with Audi engines????  Or is this just a list of engine
 upgrades?  And this is Vanagons not EuroVans right?  Are Vanagons still
 being sold overthere? >>

ok, so im not Renier, but yes - the only factory avail engines in the SA Vans
are the audi 5 cyl (damn good engine!!), which comes in the Caravelle Vans,
(nicer model) and the 4 inline (gas/diesel) which comes in the Microbus
versions (cheaper model).
these vans  - the "Caravelle" and the "Microbus" are both the "Vanagon" body
style, which is currently being made there new.
as far as i know - the Eurovan isnt sold in SA...
