Yes 85 TD Quantums came factory with the Diesel tach. yes your oil system is working as it should but since your tach isn't then it's sounding the alarm your messed up blue foil is certainly causing your problems. your 85 QTD has VWs Dynamic Oil pressure system. and it's dependant on the tach signal...

my 1.6TD van is an 1980 model and was originally a gasser, so I don'thave the battery box off the PS body panel. I hung a VW Thing Oilbath aircleaner there and made a custom tube to connect with my turbo intake. it draws air from the PS tailight well, and I no longer have the paper element of my Dod...

I know a few have put SAAB 900(?) intercoolers in behind the DS tailight.
I'm unsure on the ducting of air, or if enough positive airflow can be drawn in the outside vent across the IC and out (where?)

I'm also curious.. as I do need to IC my 1.6TD and I have a saab IC awaiting my time and $$.

Well, went down to the local big box and bought a longer 8mx~40mm bolt for the center hole to keep tension on the camplate. was able to turn all 3 bolts by hand thru the procedure. 2 pump housing bolts and center camplate retaining bolt. they have differing thread pitches so the ramp rate of the scr...

reading thru this entire thread and hoping to do this procedure one night afterwork this week.. I had thought there was a write up with images? maybe on the TDI board.. I'll have to check before I undo the pumphead.. is the center bolt extension&holder necessary part? I have the 4 bolts for the ...

Sounds like ICE BREWING The process of icing beer is done by bringing the temperature of a batch of beer down to at or below the freezing point of water (32°F or 0°C), the greatest constituent of beer. Because water freezes at a higher temperature than does alcohol, the water becomes frozen and th...

I have a 89 Jetta (gas std) and 89 Golf (gas auto) both coming up for parts in the Syracuse region. if you needed body parts or such. there is also a U-pull-it style junkyard just NW of Utica, NY in Marcy, NY that on occasion has MK-IIs drop me a note or stop by the VW Club of CNY yahoo group http:/...

Man I'd LOVE a complete 5cyl 2.0TD on a pallet.. head to pan (incl pump)

but afraid my fall hobby budget isn't sufficient.

and you're on the left coast..

IM sent, needing a K14 for Dad's van.

shipping would be to 13029

though Maine is a ways away from NY,
I'll be parting an 89 gas jetta shortly and would have the subframe available if there was something you or we could work out..

just tosing that out there.. but hopefully theres one closer for you..

thats about the milage I got in my low milage QTD. it'll never get the same milage as a dasher (even from 4sdp to 5spd) as it's a good bit heavier.. but sure, spend a few bux and put 175-13 tires on it with a low rolling resistance and drive like your 85.. cause this 80yrold alreaady drove 75-80 slo...

D@MN good price for a diesel van and parts.. hate to see any go to the crusher.. as Emissions exempt chassis are getting rare.. Diesel rabbits are $$ these days too.. one thing you'll learn soon.. is that vanagons are WAY EASIER to work on and service then rabbits.. or any other car for that matter ...

My pan has a home DIY fitting from the PO, If you can tell me the NAPA part number or type/name of fitting you've researched then that would be a VERY BIG HELP. I'll have to connect to the lower on my own. I believe that the lower is the stock Quantum fitting fromt he OG QTD drain line. in my van I ...

*bump.. yeah I have a winter project and am looking to install a K14 into my vanagon TD.. Libby, what did you use for your supply/drains on the K14 (I think i recall you running a K14). also I'll be intercooling mine with a saab intercooler, addinga good K14 but no PYRO gauge just yet.. any idea on ...

well your mechanic is only half right.. it will be underpowered, compared to your current ride in a light vehicle.. but you SHOULD go thru with it, family camping experiances are the best memories you can give.. and what better then in a VW camper.. you have a few options and pitfalls to consider.. ...
