WTB Garrett T3 Ta0304 turbo: Michigan

These were used on most Vw's 82-86 I believe. I need one to fit an 86' Jetta TD manifold.

WTT: Engine rebuild stuff for turbo head

I have a set of brand new .020 over pistons and a 12mm block with a fresh overbore and a new 2 notch head gasket. I am looking for a Hydraulic 1.6 turbo diesel head that is in good shape.

1.5 and 1.6 are identical as far as I can tell. The TD is slighlty different in that there is a jog in one of the lines to clear the top of the TD injector pump. I mix and match em all the time, just don't crank down on them or you'll be lookin for another set.

I still suggested he get the injectors tested.
I agree. I had a bad #2 injector make a sound like someone was whacking the block with a ball peen hammer. It only did it at idle. If you advance or retard the timing and the noise changes you have found the problem.

If it was runaway, then woudn't the car have continued to run with the key turned off, since it was pulling in the oil?

F.S: 1.6 diesel engines, need work, Michigan

(1) is a shortblock, 85, 1.6. Minor ridging but in overall good shape. (2) is an 89' includes cyl head. I pulled it because it was burning a little coolant, found the gasket blown between cyl 1 and 2. No accesories on either. $150 for both, you pick up. If interested drop me a line.

Feeler: 86 Jetta turbo diesel MICHIGAN

Project. 5 spd, 1.6 turbo diesel. Previous owner said it ran like a top, didn't burn any oil but stalled one day and would not start. I haven't had much time to dig into it only that the timing bellt did not snap and the compression test at a shop was good( previous owners says). I had something com...
