Coolant System
The 82 & 83' diesels have a radiator setup that should be overhauled to the newer setup.
The main differences between this setup compared to the later vanagon radiator setup is the following:
- Newer radiator shroud (metal) non-ac from an 85-90 van to be safe. The stock diesel one is plastic and not usable
You can use an AC fan-shroud, but you'll need to make an adaptor as shown below.
- Newer lower radiator support brackets 85-90. It doesn't matter if it's AC or non-AC
- New radiator hoses; the return hose is different between the diesel vanagon and the newer setups
References
These were the references I used to get the job done on my van and help another with theirs.
