Re: 1.6L Diesel injector size.
? Why would one injector be taken out? Injector lines missing? I dunno, maybe before you start spending money on injectors get a good compression test on it. Take all the injectors out. HF sells a cheap diesel compression tester that works. You have a ways to go to make thing reliable- make sure you...

Re: internal injection pump pressure
on a running motor, it would have to be stopped by the clutch. On an automatic, the fuel pump should have a shutoff lever. Of course, the diesel injection tech is usually running pumps on bench test machines so it's not an issue. For the home mechanic who wants to test internal fuel pressure it's a ...

Re: MK1 200mm Clutch judder in first
10000 miles later, including another rugged trip from Florida to the west coast of mexico, working the clutch hard in mountains and city traffic jams - still going strong.

Re: internal injection pump pressure
On a recent trip to mexico I dropped off an IP to a Diesel Injection shop to have it inspected, rebuilt and calibrated. This guy has been in the business for decades, rebuilding and calibrating pumps. I talked to him about internal pressure on the VE pump and how I modified an out bolt to screw a ga...

Re: internal injection pump pressure
Can I use this pdf for the specs on getting the right thickness shim? (still not exactly sure how to do it, but this pdf is the best info I've found)

Re: MK1 200mm Clutch judder in first
UPDATE:
after several thousand miles of driving, including a trip deep into mainland mexico, the clutch with the hand-sanded flywheel is working fine.

Re: WHat happened to this forum??
with the current "low" fuel price, people easily forget about the value of the ol' vw idi. A good time to snatch up another one for safe keeping.

Re: MK1 200mm Clutch judder in first
Thanks for the comments. I don't know how good this 020 is, so I don't want to get spendy with it. It's an FN from '82. I got the rear seal in, made an install helper out of a plastic container. Fit over the crankshaft and the seal slipped right over it, everything coated in clean motor oil of cours...

Re: MK1 200mm Clutch judder in first
Well, since I had nothing to lose I sanded it with some 120 , 240 grit and the surface surprisingly looked better . Maybe It wasn't very clean. http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a550/sgnimj96/P1010014_zpsfo95jj31.jpg http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a550/sgnimj96/P1010018_zpsrialnnqp.jpg There ...

Re: MK1 200mm Clutch judder in first
The only 200mm flywheels is find for sale are used and don't look better. I've read varied opinions on these flywheels: some people just hand sand, some use a flap disk, some use a grinder (wtf?), some say the original flywheels are better than aftermarket because they're cast, some say the pressure...
