Hi Moons, Cheers for that - I always welcome any ideas and info as I have nothing set in stone and its just thoughts bobbing around in the less than used grey matter!! Was only thinking of the MK4 clocks as there is only speedo, revs, temp and fuel along with the small LCD display - I thought "why mot, it should fit!!" - famous last words maybe. I believe it is a canbus doner car. Tony
There is a company in Germany who is specialised in T2 Diesel Conversations: http://www.birkmamero.de/T2 Dieselumbauten.htm They offer an instruction book for 60 € . I´m sure it is in German, but maybe the pictures can help you.
Hi ukog17 and thanks for that - will have a look, I'm not doing the conversion personally its my mate who is the current owner of the bay. Will see what he says although he is pretty good at what he does - just 4motioned a MK1 Caddy - all engine and running gear.
I have watched many wartime films and can happily help with any translation. E.g. in German - Vot is your name? in English - Lummy, check out Mr posh britches, Mr hoi poloi, Mr bowler hat....what do we call you your highness? I also do other languages in Australian - Bruce or Sheila - Bruce it is then.
Hmm, reading their website, and they're claiming 6-8l/100km - that's 35-47mpg. Sounds a little too good to be true, what with driving a rather large brick, aerodynamically... The T2 has a coefficient of drag of 0.44, compared to 0.36 for a T4 panel van, and 0.33 for a T5 panel van - T5 Multivan with the 83bhp 2.0TDI is quoted as 30 urban, 46 extra-urban and about 39 combined.
You can only view my abomination of a thread as a warning as a 'what not to do'.... i shouldn't be allowed near power tools or spanners.. Im dangerous............really dangerous
VW Kampers says about the watercooled T2 "... will sit at 70mph with ease whilst returning 35mpg". Than this should be possible with the TDI, too.
Might be worth having a read on the brickyard and club 80-90. It's a popular converaion with the t3 chaps. My boss has a tdi t3 and has just fitted an audi gearbox
