Golf 1.6TD engine into a Transporter T3 (Vanagon)
« on: December 17, 2008, 11:38:36 am »
Hi all, I got a good condition  Golf 1.6TD engine for a good price. My van has a 1.6 D golf engine right now (actually, the engine is a TD engine without the turbo). Now I need to swap in the 1.6 TD engine, but I've been told that some problems might occur with engine mounts - the turbo or something would interfere with the left engine mount?
Has anyone done a swap like this before and what do I need to deal with here?

I have some pics of the engine (not very good, i took them with my mobile), and the only markings that I found on the block head was: 068 103 347 40 80, the turbo is a K14...

btw - i live in eastern europe, so I cannot get any parts from us. :D

Welcome !!  What part of Eastern Europe ? I've been in Ukraine a number of times...

Anyway, there are several guys on here with Vanagon installs. Use the search funtion and you'll find them easily.

Hey, i'm from Estonia.
I have a 83' T3 vanagon. It originally had a 1.6 NA D engine, bu the engine has been replaced several times by the previous owner. The last one they put in (and is still there right now) was a 1.6 TD from a golf, WITHOUT A TURBO.

What should I search for exactly? I have found several topics about 1.9TD installs, but that's not what I am after...

Hummm, Here's a trans code page.. http://scirocco.org/gears/

On the engine, the FAQ page has many things you should read http://www.vwdiesel.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=16687&highlight=engine+guide

But I could not find the codes there. Here is a place I did find them -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_discontinued_Volkswagen_Group_diesel_engines  for older

and for newer
