Re: 1.9 PD T3 Westfalia Atlantic conversion

So another year on, not so much use as last year but still running spot on, I changed the oil in the box over the summer and there wasn't so much as a sparkle of metal in the oil or on the magnet so not expecting any real issue from the box, all in all couldn't be happier.

Re: TDI AND FLIPPED BOX IN A CALIFORNIA

As mentioned this is a topic with very different views, For me there doesn't seem much point investing in a modern Tdi in your bus with ANY gearbox that dosent make the best of the mpg and torque that VW spent millions on developing at such low revs, if you want to cruise at 80 mph in a moden tdi yo...
