... Diesels are EXEMPT from CARB.. thats right, Exempt! Everything you know about registration nightmares with a Subaru 2.5 and referees in California, does...
my buddy's syncro is TDI not at 50, as it pokes slightly thru the engine lid. Not sure the engine number yet. I am hoping his is that same engine as the one I...
Does anyone know a US supplier for an air filter element for a Vanagon JX 1.6 TD engine? the VW part number is 060129620 the Knecht part number is LX200...
Does someone here know exactly what type plastic VW used in the Syncro fuel tanks? Seems I now need to fill in a single/doublecab tank filler hole since the...

... There are old horror stories about going to a diesel though. You cannot go to just any diesel - it has to be a tdi in CA (if the referee knows their stuff...
... You guys need to go to a different DMV clerk or different DMV. Our local referee in the SF Bay Area just wants to know it's a diesel engine. One referee...
One rule they have always had is the new engine has to be the same year or newer than the vehcile it's going into. So a 2000 tdi would be fine in a 1990...
International border crossing brings a whole new level of regs into play no matter which way you are headed. I have had my spare gasoline seized by Mexican...
my last border crossing into and back from Canada - same thing. Pretty thorough grilling going both ways. but I'm crossing with no fruit, tobacco, alcohol,...
When I talked to CARB folkss a couple years ago they said: 1) the engine needs to be from the same year or newer vehicle. 2) the engine needs to be a model...
To remind you, we are working on my roommate's '88 Vanagon, still stock engine, etc. (TDI yet to be installed) Before I had said that the clutch was...
Clutch lever only moves about 1 inch so that is normal. I had a van once with same symptoms as you. Pilot bearing had destroyed itself (due to not being...
Can't see it being the pilot bearing, it just keeps the input shaft from flopping around when the clutch is pressed. David Marshall http://www.hasenwerk.ca Box...
David, any idea what it could be if not the bearing? Since others still think the bearing could be bad (and we've pretty much addressed everything outside of...
I had a similar problem once that turned out to be a broken clutch actuating lever. It's that rod that the slave cylinder pushes on that extends into the...
I had a weird thing happen where when the pedal was fully depressed the clutch re-engaged. If I let the clutch up slightly it would shift fine. You might try...
In my recently-completed conversion there is a loud "clunk" when releasing the clutch pedal upon downshifting. I can't get it to make the noise while...
Well I extended the shaft at the pedal as far as possible and its not pretty close to OK. Still if I back off the pedal slightly its better than with the pedal...
Can't see it being the pilot bearing, it just keeps the input shaft from flopping around when the clutch is pressed. ... Sorry but this is simply wrong!!!...
Hey all, need to clarify. Will an official vw 1.6td engine mounting parts and brackets work for doing a 15 degree 1.9TDI conversion? If so will I still be...
No, original VW configuration = 50 degrees. Nothing will bolt up at 15 degrees. The only bell housing that will work is a Mexican bay bus housing (I have one...
thanks karl, So I will need to fab the mounting stuff? Any tips out there for fabing that for a syncro doing 15 degree 1.9TDI? Now my existing bell housing is...
I am thinking about the pros and cons of my 1.9 tdi for my syncro westy conversion. I am sorta set on 15 degree but want to hear the pros and cons vs 50...
Please read the archives, there is a massive amount of discussion on that topic. Basically, pre-'99 engines mount easily at 50, post-'99 at 15. There are a few...
