Part 2
I had ordered a u bolt flip kit online but the mounting plates and u bolts were way off in measurement...so I made my own with 3/8 plate with reinforcements and 3" ID u bolts.These plates dont even budge at all when torqued.
I had shock mounts with 1/2 holes but found out that the...
Update:
I just got back from my first trip with the truck and it performed great with some small hiccups!However before talking about the trip and showing you guys the pictures, I will first talk about the e locker I retrofited prior to going on the trip.
It all started when I found an...
Picked up an e locker ,switch ,ecu , spare housing and a rare 4.30 front diff to match the rear.
Excited to get it installed!Im dropping from 4.56 to 4.30s hopefully it will lower my rpm at highway cruising speeds
Brand new metal impeller pump. These tdi's are known to run cool. Even my newer golf tdi takes a while to heat up even after blocking the rad.
It produces heat but only after a really long drive.
I put some paint stripper on them wishfully thinking the clear coat would peel off and reveal a clean rim but its still showing oxidation marks. I guess they are going silver .
What do you guys think I should do with the rims color wise?
1.clean up the oxidation and polish+clear
2.Paint silver
3.Black
4.White
5.off white/cream
I kind of want to stay away from the modern look with this truck.
my truck with the w56 transmission +tdi + 4.56 gears and 33x10.5 revs really high on the highway but its great in town. Im thinking of dropping down to 4.10...or step up to a 35" but I like the skinnies.
Also depends on how rev happy your diesel is. I know my older turbo diesel (AAZ) liked the...
98 Jetta engine code is the AHU 1.9 tdi.
It does have a passat BHW 2.0tdi turbo and larger injector nozzles though.
The ALH would be an upgrade but not by much.
Hey Dave,
Towing with the older TD (AAZ) motor was okay but not best.I towed a gutted porsche 944 turbo shell with it mainly on flat land and it kept 100-110km/h no problem. However now with the more powerful tdi it should do much better.
As for the EGT's, my brand new vdo sensor is not...
Depends which route you take, which motor, pump, adapter plate etc..
Example: If you fab your own plate adapter 40-60$ Vs buying one 500-600$
I also bought my motor for 400$ complete. Sold off all the electronics which funded my mechanical pump and a few other goodies.If you are handy and want...
