Re: 1.9 TD(I?) - engine ID, oil cooler etc

Really?

The engine block has 1.9 stamped on it on the manifold side.

I wonder if the fuel pump is similar, and they transferred a new-ish alternator?

If you get 15s does that mean you have to forgo the nice chrome VW hubcaps?

Zig CF8 and split charger

I'm struggling to understand the wiring on my van. Does anyone have a similar set up? There are two things which control charging and battery selection etc, which makes things complicated There is a Zig CF8 box (which has a battery charger), a leisure and engine battery.

Re: 1.9 TD(I?) - engine ID, oil cooler etc

Thanks. Sound points. It has a turbo, but as I say no ECU that i can find. Does that mean it has to be an AAZ? The cam belt cover has 'Toledo 1.9 TD' written on it, by hand, I assume that was by the scrap yard. So that means I need the Haynes for the 01-03 golf, for example? There is a thingey to pu...

I'll take some more photos and then post them later this afternoon inc a photo of the engine.


It's got a mechanical Bosch fuel pump, for what that's worth?

1.9 TD(I?) - engine ID, oil cooler etc

Hi chaps, just acquired a new (for us) 1987 T25. Spacemaker! (= massive pop-top). Ahem, there are some issues which need sorting, I would appreciate any advice you might be able to offer please. It has a 1.9 TD(I?) engine fitted a few years back. Apparently it's from a Seat Toledo, but I don't know ...
