[Vwdiesel] Off Topic, Vanagon air-cooled again

[Fernando Fiore]

Sorry, I lost the email from someone on the list who said they own an 80-83 
Vanagon air-cooled or owned one awhile ago.  I ended up buying that 
Westfalia I asked the list about, and I got it running!  It has descent 
compression but I am having some ignition timing problems.  I am looking for 
a TDC mark on the pulley where the book says there should be one, and can't 
find it.  If anyone has an idea what it looks like, or suggestions please 
email me off list.

Oh, diesel content...  It isn't worth the hassle to put a water-cooled 
anything into this van b/c it has no water lines/rad etc... but I wonder if 
there is a flat four air-cooled diesel out there?  A Deutz or something?
