hi tim  i had the exact same issue in my doka with a 1.8 20v n/a, i also had the rear heater which had a slight effect depending on how open or closed the valve was, I assume that you have the later block which has a water pump driven by the cam shaft (which is what i had). i chased this issue and c...

Hi Duncan. Thanks for the tip i have already replaced the vacume lines from the n75 valve as I had to move the turbo intake pipe backwards about 55mm to accommodate the engine mount. The n75 is mounted to this intake pipe. https://i.imgur.com/JDDwXCn.jpg I have also mounted the matching subaru charg...

Boost pipes all run to the charge cooler and no a bundle of wires to sort out where they will live in the van. Still lots to do but moving forward none the less.

Hi Neil, looking good! Have a look at the transverse engine intake manifold as it should reduce the height a fair bit. More plumbing though! Regards Duncan. The scrap yard was closed today which was anoying so no manifolds to play with with. I went to see a friend who seam welded the exhaust j pipe...

Made a start on the exhaust ths everning using an old (early) jx system that I had in the garage. And the uses of a 60mm flexy that I sourced during the week.. https://i.imgur.com/c7nlrx1.jpg https://i.imgur.com/oacz2dp.jpg I am hoping that the jx silencer will work and keep the sound down. Time wil...

So as the syncro bars done solve the hatch issue I have switched them back to the 2wd bar this has raised the engine but will solve another issue of the gear box mount not needing to be lowered. So the engine and the gear box are now sitting at the standard diesle location. I also made some progress...

The photo is of the diesel requirement thats spot welded to the rear crossmember.

About a year ago I bought a 1.9 rhd un cut panel van. At the time I also owned a 1998 a4 1.8t one owner full service history car. With a damaged head lining. I then bought an new van and something had to give. A4 was worh less so out came the engine and loom and a plan was formed. After an odd year ...

https://i.imgur.com/iwGtFyC.jpg I am in the process of fitting a longditudal 1.8t in to my panel van @50. My engine is an early one so I can use the jx sump. On the turbo side I used and epitec tdi mount i had to make the other side mount. I decided to mount my engine on the stock diesle engine bar...

The bars bolt on to the chassis rails and along the rear cross member. There are 2 diesle specific reinforcing plates that are spot welded to the rear crossmember. These are triangular in shape which give the 3rd bolt. There should be 2 bolt tappings in your cross-over to recive the 2 lower m8 bolt....

I am converting my panel van to a factory central locking set up. I have make a loom as per the factory colours and bought everything via brickwerks that's wit regards to actuator bracket rods etc. The only used parts are the sliding door contacts and the elusive tailgate cl lock which I am still lo...

All sorted now after a trip to the local scrap yard. The audi bracket removed which included the tensioner, altinator. P/S pump. Then a v belt to the water pump. Then back to the crank. Now cutesy of a 2.0 mk4 golf cabriolet (non a/c) the altinator and its bracket and the water pump pully were remov...

Just make sure you run it on the high octane fuel.
