An engine conversion workshop was mentioned in a previous post...stating that professionals would have demo's of all major conversions present. Does anybody...
Hi! I updated my Eurovan to 16" wheels. I therefore have an extra set of 15" steel wheels. I believe that those might fit on a Syncro if you bored the center....
If you are in te Atlanta, Georga, area Jack's Tires has a load range C 185R14 tire that has a mildly aggressive tread. I think it is a Signet SV-820. It has...

My 87 syncro westy is having some EFI problems right now, I think its the airflow sensor in the air filter housing but not sure yet... This led to me...
After installing Audi front brakes on my Syncro and opening wheels for Syncro hubs all that was left to put wheels back. Wheels are Audi5000T just like brake...
I've taken the drive shaft out. I've put in a S&S Headers exahost system including the catilatic converter. I put new (Gowesty) heads on. I have a new Air...
Leon, I had the same problem with ine and I choose to order some space. My local mechanic found them easily. They cost about 15$ CDN each Jean-Pierre...
A couple of biggies would be a spare ECU and spare distributor. The whole ignition system is basically just the Hall sender in the distributor and the ECU, so...
Put the driveshaft back in. The savings there are negligible, and if you're going to put so much money into the tank you might as well get the most out of it...
Jean-Pierre, Were you also using Audi front brakes, or South African front brakes? -Steve 90 syncro Westy turbo WBX ... list. Please try your best to resolve...
The only thing that'll get you better gas mileage is... drive slower... stop going up hill... stop driving at altitude... see it all comes together, a great...
A TDI conversion will get you 28-30 mpg, a faster payback time than a Subie, and the ability to run different fuels: diesel, biodiesel, veggie-oil. I don't...
Just found after all the work of enlarging holes, paying for it and trying and trying to fit, It DOESN'T WORK!!!.With spacers or without.The inside wheel ribs...
Just to be clear, you're saying the audi wheels don't work on a vanagon with the audi brake calipers and discs installed, right? You can put audi wheels on a...
... can attest to that.. if you keep it 60mph or under, you'll get great gas mileage, although you'll arrive at the crags a few hours later! :-) the other...
Hello Steve, I am a newcomer to this list and this might be a FAQ but below you mention 16 MPG as the norm for most Syncros. Does this include diesel Syncros?...
"a faster payback time than a Subie" I can see where it gets better mileage but is the payback time actually better when the conversion costs $1500-$2000 more?...
Depend on who does the conversion and what the cost is. What's a totally-sorted Subaru conversion going to set you back? I'd venture to say that I could do...
With respect to people telling me that I should put the drive shaft back in I would like to share my experience. During the winter here in Idaho a 4x4 is...
I am also interested in a performance chip. I ran one once in a 86 Chevy mini blazer. Didn't help much. But there is not much anyone can do for 2.8 Chevy 6....
The only real way to increase mileage is to use a diesel engine. My 83 Diesel Westy (RIP) got 27 to 31 miles to the gallon. Yippee Hippie Tree hugging ditto's...
80mph @ 4000rpm? ...means you have already got bigger tires on, I assume your adjusting your 16mpg for the tire change/speedo error? Personally I like my...
The 2-4 mpg improvement is probably due to warm weather and the fuel not having the winter oxygenation crap in it. Also, if you are using stock tires and...

How does one most easily replace the fuel filter? Bentley is notably devoid of all things fuel related when it come to syncro's... although I did find the...
I have two double piston calipers, two rotors, four thick pads, two backsplash plates from an audi 200 that will fit your syncro. They will not work on my 2wd...
There have been a few people who have made these work on a 2WD! Basically take the existing disc and machine it down until it is a hub. David Marshall Fast...
