Hallo John! I have converted a 1972 bus. It was 1982. I built in a Peugeot 504 Diesel, 70hp. The first test I drove to Greece. (I live in Sweden). After this...
There are many people who have done watercooled gas engine conversions. I'm currently getting someone to put a TDI into my 77 westy. It will be the first one...
Chris, please please please try to document this process for posterity, and me :) I have a 78 camper that I would love to do this with, ideally using the...
Yes, i am going to do my best to document everything. I may purchase a digi cam for this purpose. Don't expect much soon, but when it happens, i'll let...
Im replacing my old 1.6TD for a newer 1.9 TD or engine. I have the option to buy 1 AAZ from a Passat quite cheap, but does all AAZ engine fits in the vanagon,...
Henrik, All AAZ engines will fit, they are dimensionally all the same. The fuel pump of the AAZ will have the aneroid atop it, if your 1.6 has that also, it...
Hi Karl, thanks for the fast reply.......I have however 1 more question. The 1Y engine without turbo, I also thought about putting in the van. Do you think it...
Dear List, I have an opportunity to obtain a spare TDI head. I'd like to not only rebuild it, but I would also like to port and polish it -- matching it to the...
Dear Listees, Anyone have access to a newer EKTA than mine?? (mine stops at 1998) I am looking for the part number and picture of the 2000 Jetta/Vento TDI ...
Hi.....a few more question I hope you have the answer to. Does all the aaz have the aneroid on top of the pump? The problem is that the engine I have now is...
Yes, all AAZ's have the aneroid on the pump. I believe the 1Y is the Ecodiesel, so may not have the aneroid, but also less power because of lack of enrichment...
Henrik -- You really want that aneroid... it's the difference between the turbo and non-turbo engines. Unless you want a van that moves like a snail, the...
This is for a upright mount I take it. You wouldn't have this problem in the 30 degree mount would you?. Also, could you do a vertical mount in a syncro with...
What I dont understand now, is that the van was originally born with a 1.6TD engine.For sure the aneroid couldnt have been there on the originally TD...
Why do you believe the van was born with a TD as opposed to the 1.6D? WRT the clearance problem, I have a 1982 van that came with a 1.6D, I put a 1.6TD in it...
I know the van was born with it, because it has the electrical system for a TD.For exaple extra waterpump etc.And the "caravelle" are always born with TD...
Yes, a mystery indeed...Ill let u know, as soon as I had a look on a 1.6TD with engine code JX. But besides that, it seems like u all think the 1.9D would be...
Hi- Yet another somewhat stupid question from me. Looking at the rubber mounts, on one side, the center metal bar protrudes from the plane that is defined by...
Dave, Protruding side towards carrier bar. The pin on the rubber mount is towards engine, mounting bolt towards carrier bar. The pin won't allow you to install...
... Since my right mount is from the older style bar, the pin with respect to the mounting stud on top of the mount, is expected to be parallel to the carrier...
So I finally went for the AAZ engine.....Just a few questons.I got the Garret turbo, and the return oil goes directly back in the block. On the 1.6TD it goes...
