WTB: 1.6 TD injection lines
« on: July 27, 2009, 09:25:40 am »
I'm looking for 1.6 turbo-diesel injection lines. I want to keep a spare set in the trunk in case one pops on me again so they don't need to be in perfect shape, just usable and not terribly rusted.

I saw those. It looks like you have lines for the non-turbo engine.

The non-turbo lines are different from the turbo lines. Well, I think they are only different for cylinders 1 and 2.  3 & 4 are the same. This is because the lines need an extra bend to clear the boost enrichment thing on the IP. The #2 line looks like a silly straw, it has about 3 more bends in it than it really needs.

Some people try bending the n/a lines to fit but I think this causes premature failure as the VW diesel lines are delicate to start with, compared to other diesels I've seen. It's hard to find people willing to part with turbo lines.

Why not buy these?http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/VW-Rabbit-Jetta-Pickup-Turbo-Diesel-Injector-Line-Kit_W0QQitemZ220377264722QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item334f823252&_trksid=p4506.m20.l1116
It's an excellent price.  New they're $250 from the dealer.  Do it once and you won't need to keep a spare set in the trunk.
