Re: Compressor Advice

Id just like to chip in and say, I've got a 2.5hp 25 litre one, and though it's not perfect, it does me fine for what you've listed, and spraying.

This is my one from Olaf in Germany (2eimvwbus). It's simply beautiful, and goes straight on to a JX pipe. Simply beautifully engineering.

New box not lining up GTi conversion

Hi there hive-mind. I'm midway through a CS diesel to AGG GTi conversion, and under good advice here, I've opted to replace the low revving 4 speed 6D box with a more suitably geared 3H box. I've utilised the input shaft, bell, and front mounting plate from the 6D. Mated the box and engine, got the ...

Re: 1.8 or 2.0 gti ?

Hiya all! I was going to start a new thread, but I'm hoping that my question kinda follows onto Dridgy's question (hiya there!). I'm replacing my 1.6d CS. I've found a 3H gearbox for sale, but it has no bell housing, does my CS fit (I know I'll have to get a 5 stick)? Also - I've found an AGG engine...

Re: help needed in Amesbury, wilts!

Hey, no problem. I'm new to T25's too, but I'm handy with a spanner. So I'll always be happy if you guys want to PM me if I miss something. I'm going through my own learning curve. I'm just about to stick a GTi engine into mine, so I'm regularly asking questions too ;-). Yes, in short. Lift up the h...

Re: help needed in Amesbury, wilts!

Does the starter turn the engine over? Mine did this (1.6d CS Too!), and it turned out to be the hot cable from the battery to solenoid had burnt out. I also replaced the starter, which was a 30 minute job (19mm socket and a breaker bar to gently persuade the clutch reservoir outta the way).

Re: Golf GTi Conversion - Diesel Parts or Engine Adapter?

Hiya all, I'm in a similar position. Just bought a T25 1.6D (CS) 1983, it's more or less a running solid shell, which is in my garden (SE London). I was tempted to upgrade the engine anyway, as missus wants to take it around Europe, and no way am I doing that in a 1.6d... Anyway, it appears that the...

Re: is there one...

Hmmm, I think this is just what I'm after. I've a 1.6d (CS), and I'd be keen to swap it out for the 2.0 GTi AGG. I've found a low mileage jobby on eBay. There's no way I'm touring Europe with the CS (it's in my garden, gutted running '83 tin top). Are there any destructions anywhere on what extras a...

Re: 1.6 CS Diesel engine upgrade

Hiya there, yes, thanks I think I found this (and lost it again!!!) during the week. I've actually got to confess, the idea of the GTi engine has me piqued at the moment, as I think it makes sense as I can LPG it in the future too. Do you have a link or know where I should look? Thanks a mill for th...
