Thanks to Demis Rincon for sending us this link.  Demis found our web site and contacted us looking for some technical information on his Mexican VW Pointer.  I suggested a couple of places to start . . . but I don't know much about water-cooled VWs in general and especially those models never imported into the US.

Anyway, he found the info he needed at this site and sent us the link.  A lot of it isn't in English, but there is plenty there that is!  Enjoy!

This is a block of text from one of that site's VW History pages:

Ñåãîäíÿ êîíöåðí "Ôîëüêñâàãåí ÀÃ" -êðóïíåéøèé ïðîèçâîäèòåëü ëåãêîâûõ àâòîìîáèëåé ñ äâèãàòåëÿìè ðàáî÷èì îáúåìîì îò 1,2 äî 2,7 ëèòðîâ, ãðóçîâèêîâ ãðóçîïîäúåìíîñòüþ 0,5-5,5 òîíí, ìèêðîàâòîáóñîâ, àâòîìîáèëüíûõ óçëîâ è äåòàëåé, ñïåöèàëüíîãî îáîðóäîâàíèÿ, àâòîìàòè÷åñêèõ è ïîëóàâòîìàòè÷åñêèõ  ëèíèé, ïðîìûøëåííûõ ðîáîòîâ.  îáùåì îáúåìå âûïóñêà ïðîäóêöèè äîëÿ ëåãêîâûõ àâòîìîáèëåé ñîñòàâëÿåò 91%.

OK, if your Russian isn't up to par, go to Babelfish and translate that Russian "babel" into:

Today the concern of " Volkswagen AG " - the most important producer of passenger automobiles with the engines with a working volume of from 1,2 to 2,7 liters, trucks by the load capacity of 0,5-5,5 tons, microbuses, automobile knots and parts, special equipment, automation and semiautomatic lines, industrial robots. In the total volume of product output the share of passenger automobiles composes 91%.

It's not a perfect translation, but it's pretty good for a free service.  Some stuff like "the twentieth years," (from another block of text I translated) you'll have to figure out on your own they meant the 1920s.

I've been surfing through the site . . . There is enough tech stuff there to keep you busy for years!
