Re: 1.6TD JX watercooled intercooler

I'm not sure that's borne out by what others have found. If you take a look at Bernd Jäger's site he has a some info about intercooling the JX, and he reckons you can get a good deal extra out of the engine in this way. He can reckon what he wants to sell his gear. Makes you wonder how Vw had 'just...

Re: 1.6TD JX watercooled intercooler

Check the link.. http://www.brick-yard.co.uk/VehicleSpecific/T3/info/mods/diesel.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; The two engine codes RA and SB are mechanically similar to your JX. The extra 10bhp they have over the JX is from different fuel pump and injectors. I believe...

I'm swapping my clutch and flywheel this week.

Can anyone confirm if the clutch bolts from the Jx Set up are the same as the Tdi bolts?

Syncro ARB problem..

Completely stripped the front end suspension and replaced everything for new. On reassembling I now have an issue with the anti roll bar. Both drop links snapped so bought one from brickwerx and 'borrowed' one off my crewcab. Now one drop link just refuses to bolt up? It's at the wrong angle to get ...

Passenger side(for a LHD car) between the locker door and the wheel arch where the louvers are in the ad.
