Cheers,
Think thats the route

Hi
I have checked wiki and the tech forum, but nothing showing.
Looking to diagnose an oil leak plus look at timing , so does anyone have a copy of a service manual or an exploded diagram to at least get right parts

I know there's a few modles that use the 1 y. Mk 3 golf, caddy etc
Thanks

Cheers for the info, looks like I've managed to find a dud one, as the fit is atrocious.

Ok, a bit of a longshot. Does anybody know if anything changed on the tailgate when it got updated in 1985. I know about the lock hole size, was wondering if the shape was altered at all?

finally tracked it all down, theres no sensor for the glow plugs (no sensor on top hose flange) , blue white wire has been linked to the oil pressure sensor on oil filter housing, so glow plug light stays on until engine is started.
At least that's the way it looks.

So there are 2 senders, couldn't see any other so I've back tracked, I also changed the oil pressure sensor as the seal was leaking, disconnected the wire and hey presto glow plug light comes on. put old pressure sensor on and all working fine ( must be wrong sensor). Still surprised that sensor doe...

Thanks for all the replys, went for the phillips ce153dr from halfords, only 3 1/2 inch deph. no cd but as h-g said pretty good sound for £69 (cheaper from other sources but i needed it quick). Ipod connection works well, not had chance to try blue tooth yet. Found a few others but looking at a lot ...

Hi
tried searching for previous results but no joy
My current stereo sticks out of the dash by about 10mm because it hits the blower unit in the dash,

thanks

try brickwerks,the motor needed is for the cs engine not the 1y, made that mistake and ended up stranded in anglessey whilst waiting for correct part.

Thanks for that
found it & the dicky wiring, they used the cs bits by the look of it, only 1 wire onto spade connector though?

cheers

its called a mistral conversion,
no one seems to have heard of it, van was imported from poland I think.

it does seem to be a professional conversion.
up till now I know very little about electrics, guess its time to start learning.

Thanks again for the info

sorry did reconnect the other battery first., as witchcraft all used up trying to fix water pump problems
