Vw lt28
I thought I already posted an intro but I can't find it so here we go. I brought over an LT28 from germany in 2009. It currently has a 2.4L straight 6 diesel. The same one used in lots of 80s Volvo cars. Currently I get an average of 10L/100km (24gpm) on the 1 tonne truck. From my British friends, this seems about average.
The plan is to put in a M-TDi from a 03 Beetle (I want the truck to keep running if the electrics go out for any reason, plus it is just simpler). We are slooooly rebuilding the engine and adding a quattro tranny so I can match the trucks rear drive. I would rather drive the front wheels but the mods would be way too extensive for now. We made some changes to the tranny so the front take offs will be engaged only when in neutral and I plan to have electric motors to drive the rear wheels. I haven't figured out the throttle yet tho...
The ultimate goal is 2000km from a 70L tank but I have no idea if I can achieve this.
