It`s interesting to see the filler pipe sometimes has the holding tab on the bottom and sometimes on the top like yours.

Hmm.. never payed atention to that one. I have only Diesel versions so could it be that the petrol versions have a different feed pipe as the tank is also different?

I have 87 88 and 89 yearmodels. I do not remember what the 87 has as I have never removed the pipe from that one but 88 and the 89 on the picture both have the same type.

Interesting! I wonder why they modified it? Maybe rust issues? I like the chassis beam mount like mine better, looks sturdier but I`m sure it doesn`t matter much in the end...

No it does not, when they rust they do it between the pipe and the body due to accumulated dirt and both the body and pipe tend to rust through, leaving the mount out side the dirt cake still functional just the pipe leaking diesel and body with a hole.
On the AHL syncro I had to weld that area and change the pipe when I built it.

Here is just for curiosity an oilpan I made for the AHL 1.9Tdi engine, will obviously fit also other newer model engin blocks. It was designed with CAD and watercut out with cam and bent to form welded and milled straight.

The exhaust mont holes are in two heights as I was not sure did I want the engine to be lovered to awoid a boldge on the engine lid for the injection pump or not. I went with the lowered engine and hench the exhaust is monted higher to place it in tyeorginal place.

I have made a few for sale but they are not cheap. The copany cuting and bending them takes his share as do the welder and miller so few have spent the money.
I also sold it as build it your self kit with just the metal cut and bent to schape to weld and mill your self.

I basically made it as I did not find any that had all the features I wanted.
Most of the ready sets on the market lacked the following.
1. They could not be mounted with the Syncro skidplate
2. no exhaust mont
3. no splash plate
4. no 50° install.
5. no filler tube place
So if one do not find the part ready then one have to make it one self.
This one has all the features I wanted with a oil volyme of 6,5 liter.

I have been uusing the AHL syncro for my vacation now and the new sliding window from Just Kamper is good but the grill they sold for it is not perfect. If I leave it on when driving it whistles and even more anoying ratles and therefore I have to dismantel it everytine when driving.When I get home I will look into it and figure how to silence it if possible.
For the night the grill is good it gives a nice ventilation.

I got the old engine out and painted the enginebay from the Oetinger IC Syncro.
