with all your help, go the injectors swapped out tonight with new heat shields. I did forget the anti-sieze, so will remove and apply before firing up.

thank you!!

Not sure what you mean by "make sure you push or pull on the injector towards the head, not away from the head." do you mean to keep pressure down on the socket or press up toward the hood. i have never replaced injectors so want to make sure i understand this prior to doing and not crack ...

I am looking to rewire my glowplug system and wondering if anyone can provide list of items needed.

do you have part number on starter solenoid?
what gauge wiring do i need for each part?

what tool can be used to remove the injectors from 1.6 diesel engine? I have tried using sockets and even a deep socket, but does not sit deep enough and/or does not get around the fuel ports on top..if i remember correctly..picking up a project i from a year ago.


84 diesel rabbit, 1.6 non turbo.

thank you.

http://www.mainecleanup.org/rabbitpart.jpg I think this may go on the backside of injector pump for 84 diesel rabbit. can anyone confirm? I had rabbit retimed about a year ago and remember mechanic saying it was missing a 4th bolt and timing may not hold..which was right. finally have a few minutes...

Someone on Ebay is selling a complete engine/trans from a VW Polo..1.7 diesel. Item 290389185816

Anyone know anything about these engines?

Would it be possible to put this into a 84 rabbit?

Downside would be diffilculty in getting parts when needed.

The injector pump on my 84 rabbit is missing the mount on one of the bolts. Mechanic said the pump will eventually move and lose timing. Think it is located on back side underneath near the engine block.

Does anyone have one they could sell me?

currently it is only pulling and returning from a jar, so it isolates it from everything else.

how does one know if the vanes are stuck? can they be unstuck? I have swapped out the injector pump but get the same reaction. car will not start and hold idle. i can pour fuel into the IP and will go for 20 sec and die. i am have my in/out hoses in jars full of fuel, but nothing comes or goes. agai...

looking to replace the fuel hose that come into and out of the IP but do not know what size it should be. 84 diesel rabbit, 1.6 non turbo.

nope! I installed a rebuilt IP last fall and still cannot get it to fire up. Its been a busy summer so just sits in the garage waiting to be fixed. Anyone in Bangor Maine area that can help me? I will pay $! I may take it to a high-end diesel performance shop but afraid it will cost $$$ plus towing.

Thank you. Person that sold pump to me has an extra key and is sending it. With an adjustment to timing, rabbit should be back on the road this weekend.

I see thank you!

If there was one there, its gone. I pulled the sproket off in dark conditions not realizing there was a small part there. Looked all over 4 times over, but cannot find it. Will see if I can get a replacement.

I am not sure what you mean by "keyway" or "key installed"? The IP shaft has one groove in it about with width of a mm or 2. And the IP has a short groove that look like they should align through a tab, but it does not exist. Does anyone have a photo that shows what i am missing,...
