1984 Jetta , TDI WE MUST! (1.9 AHU M-TDI)

[RadoTD]

Oh man, I need to check the TDI forum more often! Subscribed!

As far as the 020 is concerned, my biggest worry would be during a hard 2nd or 3rd gear pull... if you hit a bump and one of your tires jumps off the ground, the force of it coming back down and locking up will take it's toll after a while. Drive sanely for now though and you shouldn't have any trouble!

Jeremy, WTH!!! This isn't Finished yet


Just joking Buddy Love ya

Vince, thanks a bunch for the informative answer.

Yes I have the cam and pump locks from doing my IDI's, that's good to know they will still have use. If nothing moves while I have the belt off... then theoretically it should slip right back on in place right? With the Mark and Pray method . I mean I won't be messing with the accurate part of the pump timing that is by moving the pump at all.. and if the pump and cam are all locked in.. with the engine reading exactly TDC.. that belt should slide right back in to its spot. Hopefully.

On a side note, I got some work done today  

Catlin, frigg off lol. You don't finish anything lol.

Might be some set backs on this project...   a really intelligent guy who will not be named wrote an amazing post about everything you needed to know in order to fire up the secondary fuse box on the vortex.. and for some reason the guy gets all butt-hurt and deletes the whole damn thing. I mean really? You obviously know your stuff, why did you have to do that?

There was a butt-ton of good diagrams in their outlaying EXACTLY what needed to be connected.. so I dunno where this swap is going to go.. I'll have to buy TWO bentley's now in order to figure out the friggan wiring.. CRAPPP

PM him and tell him he is a god among men...he may show favor and bless you with knowledge. OR ask you for your #. Luckily I have no clue whom you are talking about.

Use some form of archive (waybackmachine.org, archive.org or google archive) and see if one of those managed to catch it. Save as a PDF then

When was it posted and where was this thread on the vortex?

[8v-of-fury]

I will start a thread on TDIclub, duno why I haven't yet.. and I will see if any of them will be so kind as to scan a few pages of their Bentley for me I only need the back of the fusebox really.

Here is my dilemma. I have the full engine harness, the fusebox, the harness to the cluster, and to the mk3 ignition.

My plan is to run the mk3 cluster which will plug in just fine and dandy.. I am pretty sure %95 of the engine stuff will also plug in to the back of the fuse box. I will run the stock mk3 gear reduction starter, which is part of the engine harness.. so ill need to find which wire is the starter trigger..

There is a butt ton of other connectors that come in from the engine harness, but i dont see how they can be neccessary to my swap, as they go to stuff that was up in the dash, or wherever they came from.. but all the essential wiring should plug right back in to the back of the fusebox... I mean whats even in the wiring harness that needs to plug in? Starter wiring, pump wiring, and ECU power.. all the various sensors in the engine, with regards to speed sensor on the crank that goes back to the cluster, go to the ecu and remain in th eengine bay..  Interesting, with a little thinking this may not be too out of reach after all lol

Thought Id summarize with a bunch of pictures from the beginning to present. What do yall think!

First car I got in 2006, this picure is in 2007


As we were pulling it out of the barn/shed;






A little cleaning later and it was half respectable



However the pump had a shaft bushing leak and I just happened to have a parts motor kicking around that I got out of a wrecked Golf the year prior for the original idea... make my 84 a diesel (which i still might do ). So the engine that I had all prettied up for my 84 was ready to become a donor.


I picked this up from a fellow dubber to make some more power for the swap to my 84 :cool: Yup D-shaped intake ports


I had then planned that this would now be my car of choice, as I FELL IN LOVE with this diesel. I named him Douglas Maurice lol This is running off a jerry can of 10w30 motor oil, ATF, 2 stroke ashless oil, and a touch of kerosene. Mad retarded timing as well..


Since I decided that this was now going to be my car some work needed to be done to make it worthy of being a DD. From my 91 engine I took the IP, pre-warming filter, injectors, hardlines, cam baffle, and cam cover. While I was in there i also replaced all the GPs with Bosch Duraterms and wired in my own manual glow plug system to get maximum voltage to the plugs. It would also appear from sitting the rear shoes came off their brackets.. ***ty.






All that new stuff later, and I took it for a nice LEGAL drive lol



Then after doing that brake work, they lost power braking.. TIME FOR A NEW VACUUM PUMP. Set up an oil catch can as I wasn't quite convinced it wasn't doing some mad blow-by and was gonna cause a run away. On a side note, check out this awesome vintage horn! what do you think its off of.. sounds like The RoadRunner!





Got the car drivable and made the drive from where I was working on it to my home. Gave it a bath. Installed some LEDCheck out the ODO ! 587!




Started driving the car in early 2010.. about February. And from then I installed a stereo, amps, subs, did front and rear motor mounts, shifter bushings, and made me up a nice CAI in early April

Then I started to really tear in to it and I started driving my 84 gasser again around October, so I started doing some minor body, floor work, and undercoating.











Had some good headliner ideas too


THIS IS WHERE THIS CAR GETS THE RIGHT TO BE ON A TDICLUB THREAD

Picked this car up for diiiiiiirt cheap because the DumDum who owned it.. couldnt get it started all of the sudden one day after driving it, what do you think the problem was... lol There was only one thing to do with it. After I drove it around for approx. 20 days to figure out any bugs or anything and make sure its a good swap.







And then finally just this week I started tearing out the suspension because i got new sport springs and struts/shocks, and also took the old motor, trans and axles out yesterday.




Sketchy way to lift a car people!




Quite the dirty deezul bay, it will surely getting at least cleaned.. and touched up. nothing fancy. Function over Fashion.

I have Alldata.. What all you need? The engine doaner was a golf, right???

[8v-of-fury]

Got some more work done today on my day and and the weather was cooperating and beautiful

Got all the steering linkages, rods, and shifter out and off the steering rack. Also took a shot of all three mk1's





Started mocking up the Cable shifter, I was originally planning to run the cables inside the car and out.. totally forgot this car has the a/c air box though, so the cables will have to run outside. Which will run the shifter box lower in the car anyway.. Just what I want




Clean install of some quality 5"x7" tri-axial speakers.



Started to look at the clusters and am thinking its gonna be more work than I originally thought to get the mk3 cluster in.. Greaat lol.






The Wiring Harness



Old and New side by side
