Would I need a cooling system pressure tester for that? I was just planning on doing the head gasket and the cooler. I allready bought a new cooler from Jack (good deal at 75 bucks for new one). I'll probally be doing the head gasket, cooler, clutch and maybe some other stuff in the next few weeks. Should I document with pics?

Were u get rain tray and seal from? VW Stealership? I been lookin and cant find one. Although I have not called the stealership about thouse parts yet.
You could pull the cooler, add appropriate hose/plug to put compressed air to it (a bicycle pump would work fine) and shove it in a bucket of water and look for bubbles. If it is only the cooler, you would be saving a whole lot of labor. If it wasn't the cooler you'd be wasting a bit of time checking.

Yes I got from dealership. Ed over there hooks me up. You'd better let me get the part numbers for ya because they had trouble finding both parts. Got wrong parts for both on the first try.
Hey accroding to your signiture line we have the same car! I'll get the part numbers for you and hopefully post them tonight.

Rubber Gasket is 701-823-737 (cut to fit) $24.88
Note: I work at a shop and get a minor discount. Your prices may be different.

For those of you shopping for raintrays, remember around '90 they started using a stronger rain tray.
They usually sell for over $45 used but I think more '90-'92 Golf/Jettas are getting scrapped now so they have become more available on the vortex and the price has dropped to around $35.

Some cars were equipped with a overboost warning light. I suppose cars without it might have just not had the harness to plug into it??? My car doesn't have the sensor at all nor the harness, although you can tell the plastic part of the BOV has a spot where the sensor was at in a former engineering level but it is formed over. Maybe I'll post some pics of it.
Ok, finally got around to a pic.
Notice the screw in the middle. Is this thing adjustable???? I dont think you could raise the boost that would be a function of the boost control vacuum pod thingy (cant remember the name, I'm a professional folks ) Actually is this a BOV at all or is it just a plug for the hole?? I'll look at it closer tomorrow.
BOV without overboost warning sensor.
Oh once again, sorry to ressurect an old thread.

First off, resurrecting old threads is almost infinitely preferable to posting a new one.
What you have pictured is a BOV. Entirely unnecessary on a diesel and dispensed with never to return from "91 on (in the US). On the gas engines, it allows a release of boost pressure for when the throttle closes. These diesels don't have throttles (no diesel should...) and so do not need a BOV. The BOV does not regulate the boost pressure. That is done by the wastegate on the turbocharger. The wastegate is not a boost thingy but rather than a vacuum thingy.
I took Jake's (fspGTD) advice over on the GTD forum,... and removed the screw, put a small bolt in the hole and screwed the adjuster cap back in.
So I can boost to 18psi.
'91 Golf gasser converted to a 12mm pump, M-TDI.
'84 1.6TD Rabbit with a VNT-15 turbo, still setup to run on vegetable oil.
'84 GTI with 1.7TD pistons and intercooled.
2003 TDI wagon
2000 TDI Jetta.
That's a great trick. I actually use bolts that are sized so the spring just fits over the threads and then screw it down. That way you don't lose the spring if someone in the future wants to enable it again (for some unknown reason...).
) Actually is this a BOV at all or is it just a plug for the hole?? I'll look at it closer tomorrow.
