My money would be on a bad (crusty) connection inside the round engine wiring connector-Good place to start.

As stated it sounds like a wiring problem but what type of throttle pot do you have? is it the barrel type or have you gone for the 'all in the pedal' variety? If the latter i would be looking closely at the extended wiring (assuming ecu in the rear). Have you tried Dr Tim for any help?(ultimate eng...

in the process of repairing both chassis mounts-Hole size is 35mm

I can relate to all these problems and the nightmares they generate! I have my fathers Autosleeper hightop -acquired for use for my daughters after parents became too old to drive/camp. i have similar issues to those you've highlighted and after replacing the rear jacking mounts and addressing the s...

Really nice neat install ! Horrendous cv joint angle IMO but the rest of it looks super!

i put in a 1998 Audi A4 engine in with the larger alternator which meant modifying the hatch so no nasty 'lump'on the westy rear bed. only real issue i had was cutting engine bar offside but whatever you do it always takes a bit of head scratching :shock: . Tim will no doubt be able to answer any en...

A Un1 gearbox is also longer than VW gearbox and will require 'modification'of the cross member-basically chopping the centre section out and constructing another crossmember to hang the gearbox front mount from so even more work for those who choose that route. Not something i wished to consider! A...

Does the AHU have the round screwed connection to the fuel pump wiring harness? I think I would be looking there if it does for a "pooh" connection-green verdigris on the connection pins etc. Think the OBD socket is an easy fit if you have the correct pin out diagram(I don't) for that year...

Sounds like a early 1z engine. If it won’t rev at all or above 1500 rpm it could be because the ecu cannot see the throttle potentiometer. Typical fault could be the round multipin connector which is not in full contact with non fuel pump wiring or has verdigris affecting it. You could do with vagco...

What is engine code and is it a etdi or mechanical tdi?

Hi As Clairvoyancy is not my strong point can you supply a bit more information? A start would be an engine code-is it indirect or direct injection (AAZ or 1Z AHU,AFN etc ) turbo type etc. what other symptoms do you have? who did the installation /conversion? A picture of the engine bay may help mat...

Hallelujah!

Im pretty sure Tim at Ultimate engineering can supply adaptor plates for whatever turbo you are using to the standard exhaust as long as you are using the standard jx manifold.
If you are not it is bespoke Im afraid as Andy has pointed out.

No contest- cut at A or alternatively sell your expensive panel to me and use the aftermarket fake seam panel.

That is definately not a pd engine. looks like a 90/110hp tdi variant as fitted to passats judging by the angle of the oil filter with a AAZ INJECTION pump connected. Dont know what the performance is like-do you have a turbo fitted? i didnt think that type of pump would operate the injectors correc...
