1.6 TD LDA or Altitude

Post by Golf/Jetta »

what to look for?
Both have space ships on the Injection Pump
One grabs air from the Intake manifold (Blows) and the other somewhere near the turbo (sucks)¿?

TD or not

Hard to tell from the pic but I'd say TD.... because it has a turbo and the aneroid. We just got done explaining this to hjalbert last week or 2.
A closeup of the spaceship will show a tube coming from the intake to a barb on the top of the spaceship... on a TD.
Non-TD has a line going to the bottom half of the "spaceship" ...from somewhere sounds like it comes from the front of the turbo.
