Hello Volks,

Yesterday I finally got my complete almost new 1.9L TDI engine which will
find its place in my Syncro Vanagon. I have all the cable clusters and
accessories and even the instrument cluster from the 98 Passat where it
came from. This way I can also check the actual mileage once I find the
right connector for the digital displays. The instruments seem to fit in
the centre of the vanagon's panel which gives me some more ideas to think
about.  
I will do the actual conversion when it is a bit warmer and dryer again. In
the meantime I have a lot of  time for thinking and planning and tinkering:
extended anticipation. 

I will mount the engine in a more upright position and extend the engine
cover accordingly. The electrical part looks like a few hours of work ....  

I just wanted to share.
