TDI Conversion Parts
Sag' adioe wasserboxer and hallo Sparsamkeit! We are now offering fully electronic 1.9TDI Vanagon conversions at 50* using stock diesel Vanagon mounting hardware. We utilize the 1Z/AHU (90hp 155ft/lb--stock) TDI engine that allows for the engine deck lid to remain unmodified, as well as ground clearance to remain roughly the same as the original 1.9/2.1L wasserboxer engine. All of our conversions are done 100% in-house, including wiring harness and instrument cluster mods.
We are now offering several new options for those interested in doing their own conversions, including wiring harness modifications ($600), email/phone consultations ($50/hr), and personal appearances (travel expenses + a fee to be determined by your location and the tasks at hand--HI bills out less than TX ;) to help you with you complete your conversion. If you are interested in any of these services, please contact us for more information.
Here are some of the features that are presently standard on our TDI Vanagon conversions:

After a short break from offering these conversions for the past year, we are once again offering them to the Vanagon community. Please note, we are usually booked out 2-3 months in advance for these conversions. If you want to get in our schedule we request a 50% deposit up front to allow us to begin assembling the parts/engine for your conversion. We like to have the engine all of the associated parts/installation hardware here before youre Van shows up, that way we limit downtime. Please contact us for more info here.
We are located in the quaint PNW town of Corvallis, OR. For lodging info check out www.visitcorvallis.com as well as www.brooklanecottage.com.
If the TDI conversion is a little out of your price range but you still have a burning desire for a diesel engine in your Vanagon, we also offer 1.9TD, 1.9NA and 1.6TD conversions, on a limited basis as engines and parts are available, please contact us for more info. |
