Yes, you can. One wire goes to the fuel cut solenoid and the other wires are for the glow plug harness. Plus you still have the wires associated with the alternator. The throttle is connected using a throttle cable instead of a TPS.

apparently there are some pumps in the UK from various other cars that are near bolt-on that are factory mechanical TDI pumps...

Really you got any more info on these?

disco 200 and 300 tdi and the ivco 2.8 but none will just bolt on to a 1z the ivco stub is too short , and the disco stub is to fat , but is ment to fit with a 1.6 d pump bracket

Im not after huge bhp just something nice to drive with a bit of power when needed,my caddys currently fitted with a 1y seat 1.9 diesel at the minute and its awfull :lol: So 100bhp to 120bhp would be great,you got any recomendations?

snakemaster · « **Reply #9 on:** October 28, 2008, 06:52:02 pm »

a moded 1.6 1.9 td pump with the tdi parts and a few tweeks would do you nicey and a set of t5 .216 nozzles with the std gt15 turbo 130hp max

i had a 1.9 seat d in my mk2 for a short time and after a few tweeks it would pull beter than a std mk3 golf tdi 90hp mind it is 350kg lighter

i fancy a caddy but with a M tdi in her :lol:

yes first get a disco 300 TDI pump then get a 1Y pump bracket, they fit like a glove, then you will either need to drill out the mounting holes in the pump to make the timing adjustable or make an ajustable pully

BTW i cant yet personaly voutch that the pump will work, ill tell you next week for sure wen ive got my 1Z going :lol:

im quite familiar with the 1Z now so if you got any Qs drop me a PM ill be glad to help

diesel caddys are the future :wink:
