Re: 86 Jetta rear brake proportioning valve
I took that valve off a 97, it was leaking a little. Works fine without it.

Re: Solenoid style KSB valves
Thanks for the info. I'll try to attach a pic of my pump.

Re: Solenoid style KSB valves
I've got an '05 Iveco engine with a Bosch rotary pump. Lacking a service manual, I was puzzled as to the purpose of a small solenoid valve located in the side of the pump head. Do you have a picture of the valve your referring too?

Re: setting injector pump timing by ear
I tried adjusting the timing on a running 1.6 once. Quite an educational experience, the difference in sound that the engine makes. Too much advance and it does indeed sound like you are working in a ball bearing factory.

Re: Vacuum readings through your fuel system
I get concerned when I see about 5" on the gauge, 7" and it's definitely time to do something. Had my Rabbit truck up to 16" once, then it really started to slow down. Never have seen a vacuum gauge in psi. How many inches of mercury in one psi, is it about 2? Have to look that up. I'...

A favorite is the 5 cylinder 617 turbo diesel engine in the mid '80's 300 model. I drive the earlier NA version in a Ford Ranger every day, but power is just borderline(80hp). Best to do your research over on the Merc forum first, before you by a car. The 4 cylinder has got to be an absolute dog, I ...

One of the cons is that when it comes time for nozzle replacement, they have to be set up by an injector shop. Probably just as cheap to buy a new injector. I believe the fuel line assembly is different too, due to the longer length of the injector. Wish my son's 1.9 had the early injectors, I've on...

Just some thoughts, there is a test for combustion gases in coolant, Snap-On sells it. Any air bubbles coming into your overflow tank should be suspect, if your coolant system is full with no trapped air. The rad cap controls the cooling system pressure, to increase the boiling point of the coolant....

Spare engine with no compression
My son's A1 engine in his Suzuki finally died. A friend gave me an A2 engine a couple of years ago and claimed it started and ran very well in his rusted out Jetta. Not sure how long it was sitting on a pallet before I got it. I put the A1 injectors in it and duraterms, after a couple of squirts of ...
