[Vwdiesel] KG diesel, etc

[pmdolan at sasktel.net]

All 5, 6 and 8 cyl VWAG engines are "Audi" pattern, and I believe all 3 &4 are VW.

Kennedy MIGHT make a VW to Audi adapter, but it is so much easier to just use the matching parts.

There are different R&P ratios for the Audi gearboxes in 924s, but it is easiest to just buy a gearbox from the junkyard with the ratio you want.  This, of course, does not apply to "snail case" 924s, which are a Porsche transaxle mounted AHEAD of the rear diff, as opposed to behind like the Audis.  You can probably get R&Ps, but they would be Por$che part$.
