This is a wiki of information that William D. Pool has collected from various community sources online. If you've seen "rotaecho" in the forums (The Samba, vwdiesel.net, vwvortex, tdiclub.com, Diesel-Vanagon Yahoo Group, TDI Vanagon Conversion Yahoo Group, Diesel Powered Vanagons FB Group, Vanagon Owners FB Group) that'd be me.
