Wow! That looks great David. I *LOVE* how clean that install is. I think I speak for many, as Im sure you know, that would have bought your kit had it not...
Does anyone know whether 5 speed transmissions are readily available. Can 4 speed core be used to build a 5 speed if the 5 speed rebuild kit is purchased?...
Well my son has decided to jump back into the VW family by purchasing an 85 Vanagon. It desperately needs and exhaust system. I don't know yet whether it...
The 5 speeds are not readily available in the U.S. They only came in the 83 diesel models. They are much more common Europe. Places like weddle bring them in...
Hello Everyone, I have been a dedicated reader of this group for quite some time but have had little to add until I got some hands on experience with the TDI...
Vincent, I had a problem like this with my 1.8t install -- maybe you have the same problem I did. In my instrument cluster there were two grey- white wires...
Here is a little more input for thought... Which wires are not connected to the OBD connector? I assumed the GRY/WHT and WHT/RED are not used. The BLK/BLU gets...
Werner, I think you may be on to something... When I wired the OBD connector I was using a different schematic that "seemed" to leave the GRY/WHT wire out. I...
My VAG-COM is up and communicating! Well I finally got VAG-COM working thanks to Werner's knowledge and experiences. Thanks! Now I need to get my TDI running....
Well, Now that the wiring is all in, I decided to tackle the mounting of the potentiometer. I have the barrel shaped potentiometer from the 1Z Passat engine....
Didn't do anything. I left the immo wires unconnected and it started up and ran fine without it. I have a programmed IMMO which I was ready to use, but it...
Thanks for the reminder to pull the thermostat...I will pull it and run it without for a while to clean all the junk out as you recommend I just installed...
I found another problem and temporarily fixed it...The number three injector had a small bolt and a lock washer used to hold the banjo fitting on for the...
I had a similar problem with my truck. I used a test light to check mine, because I could see it from the drivers seat. I thought for a while that I was not...
Marc, Yep, classic injerctor pump in need of serious air purging! It took forever to clear. I was almost surprised when it popped and belched that initial puff...
Thanks for the offer, but i am in Europe so shipping costs would make it too expensive. And there is a guy in Perpignan (France) that is an expert of...
In my opinion, the TD pump shafts are plenty strong enough when building a hybrid pump with 10mm pump/plunger [normal stock manual trans TDI] and TDI camplate....
folks, a few general questions: will an alh pump work on an ahu system or are the electroncis totally wrong? how are automatic and manual injectors different? ...
Matthew, The nose of the later pumps is larger and won't fit the 1Z/AHU bracket. IF you were to machine the bracket to fit, then be aware that the later pump...
Found an 83 diesel vanagon (manual trans, no PS or AC) with an eberspatcher diesel heater. Engine is dead - unknown if injection pump or timing. Have not...
Hi everyboby! I would like to know about tunning chip! I am looking to upgrade my ecu from 90 hp to around 140 hp. Do you know where can i buy and what is the...
Assuming this is in a Vanagon, chip tuning may not be the best thing to do. Essentually to make more power you need to burn more fuel. The only way to do this...
I need to install a boost gauge. What gauge did you use?. Also if you can help me with info's on the clutch set-up. My car has a 016 tranny with the input...
