The QSW really does handle well and the 4WD system is excellent, locking rear and center differentials using a two position vacuum switch. The 2.2 gas engine is tired and using oil and just doesn't run right. And I want an AWD diesel station wagon that gets 30mpg. I have another 1985 QSW 2.2 gas vehicle and it gets a little over 20mpg and runs well. It's basically an unregistered backup vehicle and will be used for drivetrain parts if necessary in the future.

The 2.0TD looks exactly the same as the 2.4, minus the one cylinder, which is why I'm on this site, the veterans here know what they're looking at, and yes, all the tools are the same and I have enough experience with the 1.6's and 2.4 to also know what I'm looking at.

The turbo drain is plumbed into the block so if the bolt holes line up I'll be fine.

The harmonic balancer is the same as the 2.4 and the gas engine uses an electric fan on the radiator mounted beside the engine, you'll be able to see it in the photo's soon.

I will need to get either and Audi alternator bracket or the Volvo bracket to bolt on the passenger side and will post a "parts wanted" add in a few days.

I did find that other thread and read the entire thing a few days ago. The one major concern I had is the gear ratios being to low for a diesel but I'm doing it anyway. It drives 70mph at around 3200 rpms so it will be fine for it's intended use, a ski-mobile, mostly winter driving on mountain roads around Reno.

I'll get some photo's tomorrow and post them with a few questions.
