Hello TDI Volks,
I just want to keep you up to date with a short notice.
I am still waiting for some confirmation of prices and parts from various suppliers and will post them as soon as they come available. I will get some catalogues by mail and also tried to speed things up with a couple of faxes.
Helmut Zeidler will visit Martin Schulte (who has done a TDI conversion) this weekend. His website is (German):
http://www.koeln.netsurf.de/~Martin.Schulte/welcome.html
I am in email contact with both of them. Martin will also post a step by step description of his conversion shortly. I offered my help to make an English translation available.
I am trying to get some deals from various supppliers which takes a little bit of time. You will be kept informed as things unfold. When things get serious I will post some pictures and details. You can get the some info about the TDI engine from VW (German) at:
http://www.vw-nutzfahrzeuge.de/deu/freizeit/caravelle/tdi.html
Eventually all information will be available in English.
I am keeping this mailing list for direct information as an effort to reduce the amount of unwanted email for people. I will later post summaries on the vanagon list for future reference via the archives.
I am looking forward to have the 800km driving range per tank at some point in the near future.
greetings,
