I'll have to check the 1Z flywheel in my Vanagon but I'm pretty sure that the mark is on the flywheel, not the pressure plate like on the DV. I did make an...

I had a similar scare this week. I've been running on 100% biodiesel for a year, then I've had one full tank of dino-diesel in it. Started blowing white smoke...
I'll try to remember that 'bo' = B Zero = pure dino fuel. Ok. Thnx. ... From: TDI-conversion@yahoogroups.com [mailto:TDI-conversion@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf...
I don't know about additive in biodiesel - putting it, but I only and always add a fuel additive to dino fuel. I think it's completely asking for trouble to...
Does anyone knowif any of the 16" or 17 audi wheels will fit a vanagon? I know the offset is wrongut I think some people use spacers on some wheels and they...

The 98 - 01 Passat steel wheels are 6.5" wide ET43, which is kind of close to the control arms in front and touches with 235/75R15 tires. The 01.5 - 05 Passat...
I bought a set of nice '03 passat alloy wheels (et37) and tires for $350, then spent $40x4 for a set of custom spacers through FRed Goeske at wheeladapter.com...
