The 2.0L 8 valve VW engine is finally running great, in the Linde H20 LPG forklift, thanks to a parts cannon fix with new spark plug wires..! 🧡
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the VW Parts system (ETKA, or online at ) has a section dedicated to industrial engines, which confirmed that the ignition system is the same as the road cars.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Checking on the website showed they had both the ignition coil and spark plugs in stock at their Connecticut warehouse for next day shipping, and less than 24 hours later were finally driving the forklift at full power for the first time - with 8 days until L’oe Show setup begins fully.

Want to attend the Tuner Evolution show in Oaks PA this Saturday? You still can with a discount or practically for FREE - CODE : Philly26
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To ENTER YOUR CAR FOR FREE, you must be registered already for L’oe Show, and bring your same VW / Audi / etc - and the Tuner Evo show must accept your car of course. Park inside where we’ll be hanging, or whatever you want/get assigned, and we’ll pay you back for your Tuner Evo car entry fee. Limit of 5 cars sounds reasonable, so let’s go with that.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The discount code is open to everyone, but the show-for-free is only for cars that have registered for L’oe Show and have not registered for Tuner Evo yet. Be quick - the show is this Saturday.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Spectators can buy entry at the door, so come hang out if you’ll be there. Well probably bring 4 cars, including the Gooooolf if I fix a couple things. 😅
