Bjorn, Great review on the engine review. I can get NEW TDIs and 1.9TD in North Americia. No pricing for the TDI but a NEW 1.9L TD complete with Alternator and flywheel is $3650 US plus shipping [my cost]. These are Industrial engines so they do not come with a warranty if used in a vechicle. Quite the job convincing the guy to sell these to me! I thought I would pass this on if you were interested. Also, Ron's Parts has a 1.8L Turbo from an Audi A4 sitting on their floor with complete wiring harness and transmission - ching! $5000 CAD. Ouch! Anyhow. Good luck on the engine swap project - perhaps I'll see you in three weeks? -- David Marshall - Vanagon List Admin - Quesnel, BC, Canada -- -- 78 VW Rabbit, 80 VW Caddy, 87 Audi 5KSQ, 85 VW Cabriolet -- -- 88 2.0L VW Syncro Double Cab, WANTED: VW / Bombardier Iltis -- -- David's Volkswagen Home Page http://www.volkswagen.org -- -- Fast Forward Autobahn Sport Tuning http://www.fastforward.ca -- -- david@volkswagen.org (pmail) or vanagon@volkswagen.org (list) --
