WTB D24TD
« on: October 21, 2009, 06:29:08 pm »
This engine will be in a mid 80s volvo 740, or 760. Might even be in an older Audi 5000. A cheap re-buildable core would be ok. I know there are some Volvo guys lurking around here. I am in Clarksville TN
Thanks

a 6 cylinder in an audi 5000? dont think so man... they dont come with them, but a audi 5 banger might fit in your car.

It is a VW/Audi engine, but I just checked an old labor guide, and your right. 79-81 were 5 cylinders. 1.9L in fact. I wonder what VW or Audi did with this 6 cylinder other than selling them to Volvo. At any rate Still looking for a local D24T.

VW used the 6 cylinder in some sort of mini-bus in Europe, IIRC.  Presumably one that provided better access to the second timing belt etc... than in the Volvo.

the timing belt on the back of the engine? that runs the injection pump? a 5000 is relatively easy to get to.

It has 2 timing belts, one in front and one in back that runs the pump.

The D24 was also used in some generator sets, I've seen 2 myself.

800-446-5865 Complete engine I think. http://www.pearsonsautowrecking.com/ Ridgecrest CA. You could probably use a NA head. All the parts bearings rings, and such are the same as VW 1.6
