Once again? Did I miss something?
IC = InterCooler. That is the factory IC location for the T4 (Eurovan chassis) in Europe.
Europe only got 5 cylinder TDIs in this chassis. The 4 cylinder setups were TD only and no IC. |

Perfect, thanks Internet.
I was just confused by: "Eurovan TDIs does have the IC there factory! " |

A comma can make all the difference "Eurovan TDIs does have the IC there, factory!" I guess would've been better.
Anyway it is the factory location for the intercooler, by the way if you have a Eurovan check the hood on it next time you have it open, it has an airchannel |

Whereabouts is the air channel? I have a 93 IDI, ws interested in the possibility of converting it to TDI but I understand it's not that feasible, practically or financially. |

The brake booster is on the wrong side. It's not a reverse photo because the writing is the right way. |

"Subscribed" to the thread to see what else comes out here. |
Ah, I see. I notice the price has been taken off the ad, and it now says "call us".
My favourite part is where it says something along the lines of "a well known seller of Westy's would be charging 3 or 4 times what we are asking" So, $55.500-74000, seriously! |

Euro is on EBay now, as is "the entire stock of rare VWs and boxes of parts", because they are relocating back "overseas". What country is he purporting to be from, anyway?

He is from India. The old man used to be on the Vanagon email list under the name "Indian Vic". Had a shop in SoCal, lots of Mercedes and Vanagon experience, specialized in diesels and turbo diesel conversions. Moved to Nevada.

That pic was just a random burrowed pic from some European site to show the IC location, yes it happened to be a UK car in that pic. |
