Sounds like the engine in my '82 pickup. A 1Y, non-turbo 1.9L. It was shipped from South Africa as I understand and from Vege-Motoren according to the paperwork I have. Some links below: - http://www.4crawler.com/VWpickup.shtml#Engine I think they were used in the early '90s Passats in Canada for o...

Yes, those are coolant pipes. This is the back of a Vanagon. The radiator is in the front. Richard Looks very similar to the 1Y I have in my MK3 Golf (UK) but i don't think mine has the two pipes at the top of the picture, look like coolant pipes?? several breather pipes also missing off the top of ...

Sadly, no. I've never been able to find any more information. Mine isn't a turbo. Let me know if you find anything. Cheers, Richard HI Just checking around the net to find what engine I have in me 88 t25 and I came across this forum with your post, I have the same engine as that one you have and cod...

After looking through some of the previous owners paperwork I called the shop that installed this engine. After 5 years the guy I talked to was able to remember the care immediately. :) He said that the engine was ordered from overseas and that I wouldn't be able to easily figure out what kind of ma...

Well, I attacked the engine code stamp with degreaser and got it as clean as I possibly can. It definitely says 28F01, but it's possible that the '1' is really a 'Y'. It looks like a bad stamp with the top of the '01' falling well below the F. The bottom of the engine says 1.9 with a 'D' below it, b...

I see. Here are the two numbers I've found: http://www.brainhotel.org/vanagon/engine_codes.png I've labelled what I think is the large coolant hose with a big blue 'A'. I don't know where the vacuum pump is. Would you describe that to me? The leaky injector has been fixed and I'll add the snorkel fi...

I bought a 1983 Diesel Vanagon a couple years ago I'm trying to figure out what kind of engine is in it. The previous owner told me that it had been replaced with a rebuilt 1.9L long block engine, but that's all I know. The code is "028 103021 AF". Also, there is a VW and and Audi stamp (t...

Thanks for the encouragement to take off the valve cover. That's a new one on me. Anyway, I removed it and it looks like there is a small tear were the belt meets the cover that may be causing the leak. I've cleaned it up a bit and am going to keep an eye on it. If that is the main leak, I think I'l...

I drive a 1983 Diesel Vanagon. It has a slow oil leak pictured below. I removed the plastic cap and found a small nut which I tried to tighten. It is on there pretty tight, so I thought maybe there is a rubber gasket or something that needs to be replaced. So I started to loosen it, but noticed that...

Yeah, it's an '83 Vanagon with a 1.9 Diesel engine. It sounds like the first thing I should do is replace the coolant temperature gauge sender. Seems unlikely that this could be anything else given that my coolant level is good and the engine wasn't hot when the gauge lit up and registered all the w...

Thanks, bscutt.

Any other way to check if the engine is getting oil? Or should I order an oil pressure gauge?

Richard

I trimmed both rubber hoses on the injector where I saw the leak. I'll see how it looks after I've driven it. Peering into the oil filler hole would be great because I wouldn't have to wait for an oil pressure gauge to arrive. I opened what I think is the oil filler hole on top of the engine, but I ...

I drive an '83 Diesel Vanagon. I started my van and drove about 50 ft when I noticed my temperature gauge light up and the needle had moved all the way to the right. I immediately parked it and checked the belts and coolant level. Everything is okay there. On the advice from the Samba forum I'm goin...
