If I understand correctly, this hose is the same as any model without an oil cooler, such as a Jetta NA, or even some gas models. On my TD, I used the hose...
OK, I re-plumbed the oil cooler into the top radiator hose (does that really exist on a Vanagon?) and now the van warms up within the first 5 miles of driving....
Another symptom is that I hear a snapping sound in the pump as I turn the engine over by hand. It sounds like something that is spring loaded is hanging up and...
So the plastic breather tube on the 1z... What is the deal? Mine is leaking where it attaches to the side of the block and leaving a nice oil mess down the...
I am ready to install my diesel syncro tank into the van and I have bought a kit from Grease Works that contains all the lines and fittings I will need as well...
Shaun, if you are referring to the carbon canister, then no, it is not necessary. Do you by chance have a copy of the European ETKA? It shows the tank vent...
Hey, I FINALLY found a few hours to begin assembly and ran into something, straight away. I was vacuuming the head ports and heard/felt much debris in the...
The list price from the US Dealers is only $70, and listee price is $50. I even have some in stock if anyone needs one. Rennie VW Santa Monica ... From:...
It's amazing how much crap sticks to the valves - when you hear about people cleaning the intake manifolds and NOT the head you are only doing half a job. To...
I use an assortment of bent screwdrivers, old knives, small wire brushes, 2+2 gum cutter and a small inspection mirror to clean the ports and valves. Some...
I found a AAZ from a german vanagon, looks to be a direct bolt in installationg with no ecu or wiring...what is the catch? performance is low, numbers listed...
... wrote: Is the limitation that this is not a direct injected engine, it has a 'whirl chamber' ? correct? or do you change the head? I saw the pumps are...
Hi there. I install bothe 1.9td and 1.9TDI's on a regular basis.I also use bothe these engines in my own syncro's. U will never get a 1.9TD to perform anything...
Russel, Since you are familiar with various diesel configuations. Have you converted E-TDI to M-TDI with performance mods? I'm currious as to comparing this...
Stock boost on the AAZ is around 10 psi if I recall correctly. Similar results are achieved on the m-TDI and e-TDI when changing injector nozzle size, boost...
folks, my syncro singlecab lost most of the exhaust this morning! amazing what rust can do! i don't want to sink much $ into this rig as it is just a firewood...
it is not entirely the same for the syncro, as the syncro header pieces have extra bends in them to clear the skid-plate...and maybe some coolant deal. good...

Thanks to those who gave advise. After checking everything electrically I pulled the top and the quantity adjuster off the pump. The shaft of the quantity...
Yes, the "UFO" is an oil seperator so you don't want to get rid of it even if it isn't perfect. There is someone who sells an improved replacement on-line but...
That depends on which pump you are using and how you set it up. The m-TDI's I've done have every bit as much power as the electronic ones. There is absolutely...
Karl, I knew that you would take the bait on this one. Did we not have that discussion before? ;-) Please keep up a sense of humour though. I will be watching...
Sense of humour, you say? I really take offense at that comment. There is no 'magic' in the electronics to produce more power. As you are apparently among the...
