I'm trying to install a vw aaz diesel in my 82 vanagon. I live in Newalla. Would you be willing to come give me advice?

newalla is at east edge of okc on i-40

[@TinCupOutdoors]

Yeah I can definitely help you out!

Hello, nice video, thanks for sharing, how did you manage to get the TDI not at 50° and have the original clutch housing bolt on to it?

[@TinCupOutdoors]

It's got an adapter plate for the trans along with a custom flywheel 👍

[@bugmeister404]

I assume it’s just a single mass flywheel? Do you notice any harshness not using a DMF?

[@sirflop1220]

@@TinCupOutdoors damn I was hoping for the gas housing to be compatible with the engine when not at 50° Thanks for the tip

​@bugmeister404 yeah it's a SMF. No noticeable roughness when running. I think the SMF does beat up the trans more though. I'll be posting another video soon with a DMF on another tdi van
