Author Topic: 1.9 tD into a Vanagon (Read 2727 times)

Hi
Finally found a 1.9TD to replace my 1.6NA in my Doka.
Couple of Questions
1) have to switch oil pans: should I order the 1.9 one or the 1.6 gasket

2) can I run the alt and water pump off the same belt and be rid of the serpentine belt? (no ps or ac) Just switch the pulleys from on engine to the other??

you need a Vanagon oil pump and pan, the motor lays over so far that a regular oil pump wont work.

you also need the to consider the turbo arrangement, manifold selection, drain lines, injector pump clearance, exhaust mods intake route with filter and intercooler, and on and on..

The van has the 1.6na in there now (has oil pan)
no IP clearance its a Doka

doh!

well on the oil pan you'll have to have a return line bung welded in..

If you don't mine could you explain the return line? From the turbo?
No inter cooler (yet).

So I have to:

Switch pulleys from 1.6 to 1.9 to drive alt and water pump

Switch oil pan and oil pump

New drain line from turbo to oil pan

Switch pressure plate

Make exhaust and air intake/filter fit

Match up wiring

Can I switch the oil pick up tube or do I have to switch the whole oil pump?
