THanks for the reply! I already have a board stretcher , that was no help. I just saw a bank spot on my fuse panel labeled fuel pump and no switch. I know the fuel pump only has the solenoid that is electric, but there are definietly wires going in where the fuse should be. Any case, I figured out t...

Trying to find a fuel pump relay switch. Having trouble finding them online. Most of the online sellers that have a fuel pump relay does not differentiate between gas or diesel. I want to make sure I get the right one! Does anyone know a good source or know if the gas and diesel switches would be th...

Look forward to hearing what your experience is with the one you have

I have a cylinder head marked AML 94. is there a way to identify this. It should be a 1.6 mechanical head with 11mm holes.

Thanks in advance!

I meant to say he did not mention any additional work for the hydraulic vs mech

Thanks for that info! I am a little concerned now as the mechanic said that either would work, but he did mention additional work would be needed for one or the other. The engine also needs the number four piston replaced. I was able to find new OEM pistons sold individually, but they are .5mm over....

You can put any 1.6 hydraulic lifter head on it. The stock turbo heads are better, if you can find one. I am getting conflicting info on this. So the head that was on the engine was a mechanical head. The head and the number four piston were toast when I got this. My mechanic says any hydraulic or ...

Hi, I have an engine with code MF. I am looking for a head for this. What other engines have heads that would fit? Does anyone know a source for a good rebuilt head? This is in my VW rabbit pickup but the engine code looks like it is from a 88-91 golf or jetta turbo. Any info or advice is appreciate...
