harryman thats really helpful regards the brakes i will have to look into replacing my rears soon. thanx russel what wheels is it that u have, what would the total cost be for five for a 2wd? do u say that all merc rims dont have eneogh load bearing on them? that engine u send me works a treat, it r...

macwilliam im impessed that it only cost u £500 and that u did it ureself. i was attempting to do it myself but had very constricted time as was moving at the same time, if i did do it myself it would have saved me £320 so around the £500 mark as well. did u have to alter the left hand bottem engine...

Theres no need to modify the brakes when fitting a 1.9TD (AAZ) as it's only 5 bhp more than the 1.6TD (JX). VW sent the vans out with upto 112bhp from the 2.1l Petrol with the same brakes. but what if u had a straight 1.6/7 diesel to a 1.9turbo the 1.6td must be higher bhp than the straight 1.6/7? ...

i got a 4 speed, but again its down to personal choice. i was going to go with a 5 speed from a 1985 1.6diesel van i had but i really didnt like it it was awkward to use compared with the 4 speed in my 1.7diesel. i also asked on club 80-90 and came up with the conclusion to stay with the 4 speed bas...

harryman/mac william youll have to bear with a lay person on this, at the momment im understanding that its prob best to get 15 inch with 195/80 tyres for around 6-8% increase in gear performance would u agree?

jeepster regards the engine swap. im very happy with the increase in power of the 1.9 straight diesel swap. i have more power in evry gear than my previous 1.7, which was good at pulling away, but slow on moterway. i havnt really opened the 1.9 up yet i have touched on 60, but have yet to moterway d...

i think i understand what u are saying. that its more to do with the type of tyres as the size of wheels. i am being offered a full set of 15" merc wheels with good tyres or a pair of 15" wheels with the best type of tyres to get the most ut of the gears. im not sur e which is best? also i...

very happy with a 1.9 diesel engine in my previous 1.7 though the revs a bit high in the first 3 gears, have read that increasing the wheels to a 15 inch will help this, but have heard of others putting 16inch on. which are best please?

is there any way to get the correct reading on the dipstick at the momment with 4.5 litres of oil it reads at min on dipstick?

and the oil light comes on occassionally never for long but it flicks on for a bit spradically??

doh

yeah thats what the guy who changed the engine said they normaly take 4.5 litres but he wasnt sure as the engine was one he doesnt usually get to change. he reckons it was a bigger engine than the normal 1.9 diesel. and he hswapped the dipstick to the other side and the reading on the dipstick, whic...

any one know how much a 1.9 na diesel engine code 1x from a t4 is meant to hold?
