I've been thinking about starting this Thread for some time. It would be interesting to read some short stories about your project to include:
1. Engine and Vehicle installed
2. Date placed in service
3. Miles/Kilometres rolled-up thus far
4. Minor issues
5. Major issues
6. Link to your project
7. Any other brief comments of interest (a couple of photos would be nice)
..........................................................................................
Okay, this month my ALH TDI install in the '84 Vanagon is 3 years old.
1. ALH in '84 Vanagon (non-Westy)
2. August 2012
3. Over 46k miles, (129k to 176k)
4. Minor issues - lots of electrical issues related to how I spliced the wiring. However, it has never left me sitting beside the road.
5. Major issues - nothing (Edit: Coming up with an oil pan was a big challenge, for me and my welders)
6. This link is roughly at the point I got the engine started: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=276798&page=40
7. We did take it on an almost 11k mile road trip to Alaska for 33 days in July-August 2014
