Steering wheel upgrade pt 2

The T4 wheel has the same size as the Multivan servo wheel. But the design of it makes the driving much nicer for the arms and hands. Bolt on!
I give this simple upgrade 5 Vanagons out of 5!

Pilot upgrade

A friend went to a scrap yard and collected an early T4 steering wheel for my T3. Thanks Abdullah!
everyone that did this update claims that the steering and comfort is much better. I think it will be great as the servo is super light even with the large SUV tires. To be continued...

Fwd: Golf tdi motor

Time for an upgrade! :)
The m-TDI is running great, but I have no idea how many miles it has. I've always wanted a newer engine for several reasons (emissions, VNT turbo, more power without tuning etc) and now I found an ALH in decent condition with a serviced turbo and a newly replace vacuum system. And best of all, this engine has the oil filter replaced from the top! 
It means that if I make a skid plate, which also lowers noise, I don't have to remove it to replace the filter.
