Thanks for that, Stefan... very interesting.... I'd love to get my hands
on one, esp. a turbogas. Although, with today's petrol prices, I'm
thinking of putting a 2.3 turbo diesel motor in my 505 GTI Wagon, if
such a thing is possible.
A friend had an old 604, and whinged about the motor constantly.
When you say turbogas, does that mean it runs on LPG, or is it a
turbocharged petrol?
cheers-
F. D.
