Sorry for linking to Jalopnik articles more than anything else, but there're a couple writers over there who're ACVW guys and pretty funny/interesting writers besides.
"Volkswagen certainly has done a dazzling job of turning their entire line of Diesel cars into a steaming, heaping pile of beaver shit with their duplicitous emissions fudging-system, but it’s nice to know this isn’t the first time diesels have bitten them on the ass. The first time was, of course, much simpler."full article

Re: Volkswagen Diesel Beetle
It would be fun to try again with a little more modern diesel technology atop a Type 4 base . . . slow is the new cool. Says, me, that's who.

Re: Volkswagen Diesel Beetle
I would love to experience that engine. Note, however, that the diesel injection pump is a serious parasite and it is 90* to the crankshaft, which tells me that there must be some bevel gears in that there crankcase, working mighty hard.weisswurst wrote:OMG, an factory air cooled diesel diesel?!?!
