thanks good advice.

Thanks sounds the same will follow it up.

Sorry if this sounds like a bit of a rant but it is what it is. I am currently rebuilding a DG 1.9, and require information on suitable main bearings to fit an early crank in to a later engine case. I contacted a reputable supplier who sells these parts, who you cant phone you have to email. So i em...

Think i may have found something.

Hi, I have looked throught so many sites looking for bearing sizes to convert early DG crank to fit the later DG case.

Does anybody know the measurements of what a standard jounal should be, or where i can find the information.

I still can't find any reference to the red dots on the crank.

Thanks for the info lots to follow up on. On further investigation the crank is the same in both the early and late DG engines, it is the case that is different, the earlier engine having thicker main bearings, and the later engine having the slimmer bearings. Now the engines have been stripped, No ...

Ok, will check out volkspares thanks for that.

So these changes in 85 / 86 why did vw not changes the engine code to something else rather than having 2 DG engines. Is there any where i can find what the changes are are so i know whats interchangeable.

DG engines whats the crack, did vw produce 2 DG engines, I ask as I have 2 engines both DG 1.9 but the engines are different, thermostate housing some of the pipe work, but the internals are different as well. I have stripped both engines and the heads barrels and pistons look the same, but they hav...

thanks , so i could fit a standard pump, they dont have to have a heavy duty pump.

DSC03092.jpg DSC03091.jpg DSC03090.JPG Hi all, I have a 1987 Caravelle 1.9 petrol DG engine. After many running issues it came time to dismantle the engine, but i am having trouble identifying the oil pump as it has no part numbers stamped on it. I have looked on just kampers, brickwerks and vagcat...

Ok thanks for that. DG 1,9 petrol 1987, the reason i ask is that the van starts no problem drives ok, but when up to temperature the revs die and the engine stops. Start the engine but no power to pull away without over reving. When setting off the water in the expansion chamber is about 1/2 to 3/4 ...

Can anyone tell me how you tell if the dalek cap if faulty, and can a faulty dalek cap cause the engine to stall when the water is hot, through not releasing the pressure?

What size mounts, i have a 1987 T25 Caravelle 1.9 DG petrol. I am replacing the anti roll bar mounts and suspension bush for anti roll bar link. My anti roll bar measures 19mm, on just kampers they list all models anti roll bar mounts 22mm, and then the link rubber bush as 23mm. I have a straight li...

Hi got water cooled caravelle 87, got some knocking coming from the rear. which gets louder the faster you go, but coasting in neutral is not so bad or goes altogether. I suspect its the cv joint. As i have not changed one before can anyone tell me of any pitfalls and what to avoid or a good way of ...
