Club 80-90 Forums

Hi folk, I am trying to find out what engine I have actually got in my van, I bought it as an AAZ from a damaged Golf but when we tried to fit it the holes in the block for the engine mount were in the wrong place and so the mount for the AAZ would not fit,I needed to have an engine mount custom mad...

Thanks to everyone here for all the great advice.I think most of my smoking problems have been caused by overfilling with engine oil! I do not have a garage to work in so I have to depend on mechanics to do my work, I would be quite capable of doing these jobs myself.My AAZ conversation uses the old...

WoW! That is some great advice, thank you all for taking the time to help me, unfortunately some of this has gone right over my head, how would I know if I had frothing? I am a bit thick and I don't know what IMHO, CHRA and turbo brgs mean! I think you may be correct about overfilling the engine wit...

Thanks for that, I will have a look.

That's a good idea, where would I find the engine number? Thanks.

I am not certain what my engine is! It was sold to me as an AAZ which had been in a Dutch golf which was written off over here and kept in storage for ten years, however, when I started to fit it, it would not fit, the holes for the engine mount on the oil filter side were in the wrong place and had...

The oil was inside the turbo and on the air intake pipe.

there was a lot of oil on the cylinder head side of the turbo so I figured the seals on the turbo were gone, that's why I replaced the turbo, I by passed the air breather just as an additional measure, is 4.5 litres with the oil filter empty or full? Thanks.

My van has only got one pipe coming from the top of the rockercover, it goes to the air breather intake going to the turbo, we disconnected it from the air intake, closing of the hole, and put a longer pipe on it coming from the rockercover, venting out at the back of the engine just in case that wa...

Thanks, where is the crankcase breather?

I have had a rebuilt turbo fitted to my van which has a 1.9td aaz engine about four weeks ago, looking at the turbo last week I saw it was leaking oil, the engine had also got a bit smokey again, so I sent it back to the place where it came from, they have checked it and say the seals are perfect on...

Does anyone know where I can get the bearings to recondition my five speed type25 gear box?

Hi,
does anyone know if a turbo which is leaking oil into the engine can be reconditioned?

HI folks, I have put the pump from the 1.9 engine back on and what a change in power! Drives great , much more comfortable. I have fitted the kit from brickwerks for the engine lid which will now close, I have a little problem with the engine idle speed being very fast, about 1500, I am told this is...
