Thank you sir. Well, I know the nozzles need replacing on these injectors and I've gained A LOT more MPG, guess from the car not running as retarded with the higher breaking pressure? Also replaced all my wheel bearings.. BOTH fronts were shot. Nice and quiet now. About the heat shield seat.. it's d...

Well, replacing my injectors finally over from my NA ones to my TD ones. #2 injector "right after running the car" was dry. The other 3 have diesel on them, also the heat shield is so FCKN stuck in the base! I don't think that injector was working properly.. thought my mileage was kinda lo...

Yep, looks as though she's dead.

Just one more thing to add to the list now. *facepalm

No, it didn't. Although it has a W plug.. but the mounting flange of the alternator is inverted compared to the diesel one.. damn, the gasser alt is much newer, can the plates be swapped. I think someone helped me figure where the wire needs to go.. just wire it right into the tach signal going into...

Can't be 100%.. the guy I bought it from says it did in his car.. but you know how that is.. I need to know if I have it wired correctly first? I think if the alternator is connected to the old gasser tach signal it should work? Only reason I think it might not.. is because gasser manuals get signal...

Alright... Got my CE2 diesel cluster today.. so, my question is.... For wiring up the tach.. do I run the wires from the W plug to: A2/06 Alternator (W Terminal, Diesel only) Tachometer Red/Black (diesel only) in the CE2 fusebox? Or will it not go anywhere cause the car used to be gas. Or do I run i...

I have a VW Quantum engine, 1.6 Turbo Diesel and I don't know if it has mechanical or hydraulic valve lifters. Can anybody tell me how to check this? Thanks! Yep, best way to check is for the two oil drain holes at the front. Else, just pull the valve cover and look at the cam followers. Solid head...

do you have to take out the cluster to replace the nightlights on it? I've been driving with a dark cluster for months. Very easy. Start pulling out all of the switches and empty tabs on your dash. Remove all the screws. Remove the piece of trim from the dashboard. Your cluster will be exposed.. th...

I removed that long time ago.. thought not having it was giving me problems.

Turns out to be that gasser fuel sender.. LOTS of air, intank pump must have crapped out.

IT'S ALIVE!! Just spliced two BIG RED and BIG RED/BLACK wires together and it bypassed the whole system. I had it figured out last night but stupid me had the signal wire unhooked from the starter and forgot about it! Was tired. Having trouble getting the lines primed.. ideas? I think it might be ca...

yeah, well my manual shift box is in there now. There was a relay attached to the auto shifter and I cut the wires thinking I could just jump two of them. I know there are reverse lights there as well. I was trying to get a voltage down there with the key in start position but I could only find a sw...

I didn't remove the seat belt.. is there not two wires I need to jump so the car thinks it's in park?

a2resource doesn't have the relay 92, which has the wires going to the auto shifter on it.

Okay, well I'm done the SWAP! Hooray!

If only I could get my starter to engage... I can hear the relay click.. I'm pretty sure that is has something to do with the auto tranny interlock!? Anyone know which wires bypass this?

Well, actually.. I sold it to some dude and he's going to swap his speedo into in anyways.

Probably going from diesel cluster w/o tach to w/.

For the same price you should be able to take them to a shop and get it done.

I asked when picking up my reseal kit for my pump, they said $5/injector to pop test.
