Dear List, I have a 1997 Jetta/Vento TDI 90hp installed in my Vanagon Syncro. Van runs great. However, I'm scratching my head regarding a persistent fault code...
Anyone have access to a passenger-side (i.e. right side, oil filter side) stock diesel motor mount for a Vanagon diesel? (mine developed a nasty crack!!) :( ...
hah!! gotta love it! But I can't wait 9 months for the Germans to send it to me!!! (especially with summer vacation looming) Michael ... From: dave bayer...
Hi Michael, which part of the DV right side engine mount are you talking about ? I have 'access' to several. the cast aluminum part ? the rubber part ? surely...
I need a 240mm clutch disc in order to use the Audi A6 dual mass flywheel on the AEL tdi 5cyl conversion. The problem I have with the 240mm disc that came with...
Yes, there is. I have such an animal in my 5 cyl Vanagon Syncro. I think I also have a 240 mm sparedisc on the shelf. Sachs I think. I will check the part...
Hello again William Its the clutch from the Urquattro, that great rallycar of the 80ies. That's the one i've got. But i do not know if it fits the dual mass...
The 240mm clutch is used on the European TDI 6 speed manual transmission. No idea if there's a difference between Quattro and non-Quattro set-ups. Chris...
Thanks Marc and Mark. Good to know that the disc exists. What would be most helpful to know is; what year, model, and make of vehicle it was originally ...
Ok, I found my spare 240 mm clutch. I had forgotten that it was out of the original box. I was told it was for some 5 cyl Audi Turbo but I don't know the...
hi MJS I have some of those cast aluminum right engine diesel vanagon mounts. they cost about 200 bucks, at least, new if you COULD get one, and they might ...
Thanks for all the input. Here is what I learned at the parts store. No metric specs were available only the archaic system. Disc diameter 9 7/16, spline ...
FWIW my guess is the glow plug fault code refers to the starting glow plugs and not the cooling system glow plugs ( seems logical ) , although you never know...
2.0 liter five-cylinder TD engine from 1983 Audi 5000. Rated at 84 hp and 127 lbs/ft stock, without intercooler. Could easily make much more power with an...
Dear Vanagon Afficionados, Alas, I must sell my beloved "Claude", a rare 1986 Syncro DoubleCab -- one of the finest examples in North America. Currently...
I'm converting a customer's Syncro Westy to a 1.9TD engine, and using an adaptor plate to configure it at 50 degrees. It doesn't have the differential lock, so...
I am looking for a super trashed, super cheap diesel vanagon- running or not with a clean title. I am in Portland, Oregon. Prefer late model vanagon....
IIRC Vanagons only came with the diesel option in 1983 and 1984. Of course you could always do a transplant. I'd love to find a 1991 Vanagon (the last year...
I concur 82 predominates in the U.S.I have an 82 and I think you are better off getting a newer one and converting it using the more upright engine position...
Hey Karl, you know that Hi-Torque is the brand name right? I have one on my vanagon. 1.9tdi conversion. I would like to know if any of their starters are ...
Why not use the block-mounted starter then? Seems the starter the 2.5 came with would be the optimal choice. I talked with Hi-Torque today, they have what I...
Why would you recommend the upright configuration? The 50-degree works fine. 100K miles on mine and doing great. So far, there is no real evidence that the...
Karl, I got no starter with the audi 2.5tdi. The parts stores around here have no reference numbers for that motor. Do you happen to know a Bosch starter part...
Scott mentioned to me that he had starters for $100 when I had inquired about an engine. ... Karl, I got no starter with the audi 2.5tdi. The parts stores...
Chris, In my experience, diesels came in 1982 and 1983 Vanagons only. I know for sure they came in '82 because I drive one every day. Cheers, Harry Johnson ...
