I wanna see pics of your tdi! but seriously, nice work. Have you seen anything about my catastrophe that is unfortunately a VW? that fram filter may or may not give you issues. I got a puralator one once and it restricted the flow so badly it set off my oil pressure buzzer. Shoot for Mann or Bosch.
Your post tells me that my spring thing is too small for my 210mm clutch... mine from my 200mm clutch went in fairly easy. well, yours a 210mm that's a bonus! that plus manual steering rack AND AC! you have it all! that engine looks to be in incredible shape.
Hey Corey, that 83 looks to be in pretty well kept shape.Its the only 83 TD that i know about in our state.Probly at least a couple few others somewhere out here, but they are scarce. Only know of one 84 TD.Try to TEE off the oil port on the driver side of the cylinder head where the low oil sensor is. A tee will retain the sender too.That is the lowest pressure/best spot to get reading from.If it is an electrical gauge - you might can just splice into the wire for the low pressure sender.
