I haven't put a price on it yet as it is dismantled, no point reassembling it with a worn diff. A new LSD for a UN1 will set you back around £1200, so thats a guide as to its potential full value. How much would a full house rebuilt HD 4.14 VW transaxle with LSD cost? I would investigate the adapto...

I have a Renault UN1 available. New pinion bearing and part rebuilt with several synchros replaced (some needle races nla) but really needs a LSD to make its full potential as the 2 pin diff is tired (a known failing on an otherwise very strong transmissionl) 3.78 diff so needs a torquey engine but...

Hi All, Ok so this might have been spoken about before, but I'm yet to find a thread that goes into detail about other options. Apologies if this has been talked about in depth before. I'll cut a long story short. I've been putting a 1.8t in my T25 with a flipped gearbox from a Porsche 986. Same tra...

So I’m revisiting what I started last year after getting my 2.1DJ rebuilt. Been taking the bus out a bit recently and it’s not the quickest thing to drive. Takes forever to get to 60mph. I know that’s probably to be expected but I did expect a little more from it. It’s a bit painful. So here’s the t...

I readjusted the timing today and things seem to be a bit better. I took it for a road test and it run well. Plenty of torque as well. The engine is way better now it’s new than the terrible mess it was before. I’ll run it tomorrow when it’s completely cold and see what happens as that’s when it was...

Fuel pressure regulator is also a possibility. Is the vac hose connected, and good? Can you hear the engine tone change when disconnected? There should be a pressure test point in the fuel hose at the front of the engine, to the right of the dizzy. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk Hi ajsim...

Hey Scotttie,
Thanks for the link. I will have a look at this tomorrow.
I will check my timing again tomorrow and also do a full check on the electronics using that digijet manual.

So two things here which might not be related: 1. Running rich: An injector being stuck open will cause rich running. There is a procedure for checking injectors amongst other digijet components in the workshop manual (http://syncrosport.com/info/manual/VW_Transporter_80-92_2-1_Inj_Ign.pdf). Have y...

Injectors worn ? mine was the same when I first picked it up , ran well,  it stank of petrol , especially when cold . That was ten years ago , I weighed up the cost of new injectors, of refurbing them , and  junked the injection system , switched over to a DG carb and converted it to lpg  Now days ...

Hi guys, I’ve recently got my 2.1DJ rebuilt engine running. The old engine was poorly looked after and ended up with a cracked head and leaking gaskets. This new DJ I have built from scratch with minimal reuse of old parts from the original engine. I’ve searched the forum and wiki, but nothing is re...

Hi guys, I wanted to double check this before I seal my engine case back together. I have installed my new cam shaft and have done exactly what both Haynes and Bentley books have said. Line the dot up on the cam gear in between the two dots on the crank gear. Trouble is that it looks like I could b...

Oh. Mine are being shipped today. Website is very much on my to do urgently list, and about to be vamped. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk Can't wait for it to be back up! I'll let you know if I need one from you if this other one doesn't work out. I seem to be sending more bits back than ...

I have no proof, but I think this is probably where most/all of the aftermarket WBX dished cams come from. China Camshaft for VW 113109021G I found it interesting, so thought I'd share. It's very possible that the £253 Heritage offering starts life as a $10 blank. Sheesh! That is terrible. I ordere...

I’ve emailed them and said I have £258’s worth of cam that is useless; come and take it back. What’s the lead tine on the cams you have then? I was hoping to have this engine finisher already and it’s been problem after problem! I’m well over into £1500 or more spent on heads, pistons, barrels, rep...
