It is a two pin sensor, black in color, on the back plastic hose that runs from the intercooler to the intake manifold. Basically right above the vacuum pump...
I can't seem to find my turbo to manifold gasket from my 1.6TD. This could be because there isn't one... EKTA doesn't show one. Is this correct? Also, on the...
I have posted a few pics of the turbo oil drain line I made yesterday, along with the clearancing of the heat shields that is needed when the turbo bearing...
There isn't one. Manifold to head gaskets. Perhaps I have never done this correctly. But I have never really paid attention to how they go one other than...
All the gaskets I have used over the years have come in only one design. So two were always 'metal up' and the other two 'gasket up'. I took that as a sign...
I'm struggling a bit with the design of my TD turbo drain line... the stock 1.6TD Jetta line is 1/2" ID on the drain. The supply line is about 3/16" ID. The...
With the larger turbos, I'd be sure to stick with 1/2 ID drain line. BTW, what was wrong with the original one in your photos? I would have modified that one...
I couldn't see how I could index the turbo drain and keep the stock line. The flange is 1/4" thick (so it hits the wastegate very quickly), and the pipe makes...
... Well, I'm now in Noordwijk, Holland and have intermittant internet access again. Just a few quick comments. My work with the QTD exhaust manifold was using...
Shawn, Bicycle shops sell thin wrenches ("cone wrenches") - I paid $5.55 for a 13/14mm, about as thick as a quarter, unless you just love using your grinder. ...
I'm looking for one piston and connecting rod from a 1Z TDI engine. Also a good used or rebuildable cylinder head. No, not for my van...but for a car that...
Hey Karl, You're doing one of those too eh!? Just did a AHU TDI in a 1998 Jetta - the $250 I quoted for changing the timing belt was apparently too expensive...
I'm just finishing a two week conference and business trip to Vienna, Austria and Noordwijk, Holland. In addition to the conference meetings, I have been ...
Hi all, Couple of questions. Coming out of the 24 pin DFI harness I have a 3 pin plug, looks like it may have plugged into the tranny? It connects to pins 8,...
I think that the 3 wire plug that looks like it plugged into the tranny might be the VSS if the wiring is similar to my ALH. I might be able to help you with...

The Bentley diagram I have shows pins 9 and 10 and a ground going to the VSS. If you choose not to use the VSS, you should at least ground the connection that...
