Bolt extractor is on order... I found a printable thead guage... For anyone else interested... Timing belt cover bolts are 6mm x 1.0 x 25mm Crank pulley socket bolts are 8mm x 1.25 x 12mm The OEM crank pulley bolts have an integrated spring washer. I guess I'll just replace it with a lock washer. Sh...

Mine goes up to '82 and has the 1.10-1.20mm lift... guess someone made a goof in the '81...

Buzz, i have a spare i just checked with that 107AG code as well. btw- what year is your car? Sorry about that - just realized that I never put it in my sig here. it's an '82. As far as keeping your existing pump or going with the AG, I can't be of much help. I know (from Hagar's stories) that you ...

Beast - just to add to your list, I have a 068 130 107 AG on a 1.6D. Non-yellow dot. AFAIK it is the original pump.

Okay, so I'm trying to remove the timing belt and I've gotten to the point of removing the four allen-head bolts holding the crank pulley on. I ended up locking the IP to hold the crank in place while I broke the bolts free. Three of them broke free, but the fourth stripped... any ideas on how I can...

Ask Jack - I think he has them.

Yes, just upshift light. The A/C didn't have a throttle position cutout, but fortunately VW provided the "kit". :wink: Two seperate questions here... 1) Is the "kit" than Andrew mentions still available? I have the shift indicator switches and would like the AC to cutout under h...

Debris in the tiny orifice in the OUT bolt Please correct me if I am wrong... how would debris in the out bolt cause this problem? Wouldn't this cause the internal IP pressure to be higher than normal? If so, I'm not sure how a higher internal pressure would cause the power lag. I'm just trying to ...

jump the glow plugs with a jumper cable for about a minute and then start the car. This is fine for slow-glows or for Duraterms, but I suspect that running fast glow plugs for that long would damage them. When my relay went (fast-glow), I would use a jumper wire for 7 seconds, the same time as the ...

I've been to every hardware store and industrial supply house in a 200 mile radius and have only found square tuits. I have even done a couple of hours scouring the web with no success. If anyone can direct me to a source of round ones, I'll get it done pronto... My wife recently got a round "...
