4000s TURBO diesel???

[Britt Grannis]

I privately replied to this but think the list should have this info also. I
used to work at Anderson/Behl Porsche/Audi in the early 80's. We were the
west coast test dealership for P/A and recieved some interesting cars to
test, some of which never made it to production (ever heard of a Twin turbo
928, I've driven this factory beast) and we got the 4000TD in early 82. It
had 72bhp when the sameyear gas 4000 had 78bhp. I drove the 4000TD ( india
red) from San Jose, Ca. to Ill. and it was a great car. I got 55mpg through
Nevada. We were told to drive it hard but keep good records. I stopoped in
and showed the car to the mechanics in SLC, Utah and Denver. I was amazed at
how well the car went up the 10,000' pass outside of Denver. We had to send
the car back to the fatherland to be dissambeled and checked. Too bad VW got
the engine.
