Jetta project 200

[745 turbogreasel]

220 may  work better, but here it is more important the idiots who stick their fingers in the light bulb sockets survive to breed.
Ameirca **** yeah!!!!

You know that if you run a 220 heater on 110 it will barely get warm?

If he's got a transporter, there is a fair chance of it having Euro accesories.

DEFA is the brand of block heater I have on my VW Transporter Syncro.

They are just the same as any other brand but its rated to use 220V instead of 110V.

Maybe Janne can explain why all their electrical over there is 220V.

Any ways, I'm looking for a cord for my truck.

Sending PM.

Finally, I found the right button for this thread.

LOL !

That's a big button. I feel like I should have a proportionally sized cursor to hit it 

Well at least you're not like me and had an urge to punch the big 'Like' button like it's an arcade game!  The 90's gave me weird gamer tics.

Hi voltage is better. Lower loss and the wire gauge can be smaller to carry the same current.

I understand the heater now, thanks all for the answer to that question.  Sure wish we had that kind of output in the states.  Maybe then our government-mandated CFL house bulbs would take less than 5 minutes to reach full luminosity.

OT, good luck on your power goal, and I hope your experimental plenum serves you adequately!

Spend few hours to read the thread ... its amazing how much work and money you pun in your car. Good luck and hope to see dyno soon. Also interested in head studs and crank plate cad ... i am from Bulgaria, and for me will be alot better to have this part cutted localy if i have the drawings. And about the studs, what steel are they made from? Subscribed!

PM sent, finally. I haven't been around for some days..

Thank you so much for your interest!
I hope to continue the work soon, I have been stranded home with a big cold for over two weeks now,
so no progress just yet.

sorry to be a pedant - but what you mean is the gauge of the wire can be smaller to carry the same power 

This thread is great. Grey compressor housing is horn.

Gauge is the size (cross sectional area) of the wire. Higher voltage needs a smaller gauge wire to carry the same load.

He's in the USA AFAIK. Is he moving it to Europe.

Hello guys...!

I have not updated this thread for a while, but I'm still alive!
There also seem to be issues with the pictures on this thread not showing up from time to time - I will try to fix this when I get a chance.

I have been very busy with my life and I have had to cease working on the Jetta for some time. Plan is to continue the build after this winter. I hope I will
find the time, the money and the energy to finish the Jetta before 2014 ends. But no promises, that's what I've learned, my deadlines never work on this
project, so no more deadlines!

I apologize also for not replying to PM's you guys have been sending me. I needed a total vacation from cars a while back, and didn't even log in on any
car forums. When I get to continue this build, I hope to be more active on here as well, so likely then I will be easier for you guys to reach.

BTW, if there are any new, good threads about fast diesel VAG builds that you think I should see, please let me know! Such things could help me get
my motivation up in time for the spring

[Alcaid]

Good to hear all is well Janne I know all about sliding deadlines...

[Alleslowbuged]

Hi,

very nice to hear that you are still here and that the car still exist. Still my favorite built in the hole www and i realy hope to see the car running and also to get some numbers.

Best Regards
