Re: JX 1.6 td Intercooler kit

the IDI section on vwdiesel.net. Where can I find the information about pump and turbo adjustments ? thanks  I'd suggest spending a bit of time doing some reading and research, the forum already mentioned should be a good starting point. Be prepared to dig a bit deep as a lot of info will be buried...

Re: JX 1.6 td Intercooler kit

An IC alone won't provide much extra power, and for the price on the ad would be a completely disproportionate purchase IMO. The 1.6TD can be tuned for more power but that needs more fuel and air, eg. injector, pump and turbo adjustments, with IC added to keep intake and exhaust temps in an acceptab...

Re: Dometic Toilet Spares

O'Brien's Camping are/were Dometic agents, but possibly they've retired now. They used to always be at Busfest but I've not seen them there for a while.

Re: What Adhesive to use

I normally use double-sided foam tape, cut to profile with a craft knife. Motor factors have it.

Re: Throttle Potentiometer Issue

Hi, as I've been messing with these sorts of things for a while, I may be able to advise. Firstly, consider the problem may be a wiring/connector fault, not the sender. The pedal circuit is very sensitive and originally had gold pins, with waterproof connectors to eliminate any corrosion risk. In en...

Re: Welding on a gearbox

I've resurrected an old thread here. The original post is from 2018 so guessing he sorted it. I just have a similar issue. For me that would not work as I need something to stop the bolt slipping out when I tighten it. There is nothing there to get good purchase. To be clear, I was visualising just...

Re: Welding on a gearbox

JB is good if used correctly. Look at JB weld-ing a stud in place of your missing bolthole ?

I've got a set of 'NOS' 1.9tdi pistons if they're of any interest.

Re: Tried everything I can think of, but still no spark

It might be worth looking at the troubleshooting procedures in the workshop manual.

Re: T25 dashboard dimmer switch

The T3 had a number of different lighting circuit configurations, as different countries had differing requirements for things like daytime running lights which GB and Scandiwegia had (but in different forms) but other places didn't. There may be pre/post '85 differences also. Therefore there are di...

Re: AAZ upgrade turbo and realistic power

I'm very rusty on IDI engines, and had an SB not an AAZ.. but I remember there were some great communities such as the vwdiesel.net forum. I think ~120hp could be achieveable with more fuel and air and an intercooler. Fit an EGT gauge to keep an eye on it. Again I'm not an AAZ expert at all but I th...
