The old blue rebuild (1983 1.6 TD)
« on: July 23, 2010, 12:13:53 am »
Hello guys my name is Corey i am 20 and this is going to be my first full size rebuild. I might have a lot of questions and thats why im here and to show yall another build project, I know yall like these. I bought this car about 2 months ago with 268,000 Miles on it. I bought it for $275 and then drove it home and even then added 2,000 more miles on the odometer! This is going to be a really really budget build with all the cheapest stuff i can find! ;)

Spec. 1.6L Turbo diesel  broken 5 speed trans. engine code CY Mileage start rebuild 270,012
My plans- 1MM over sized pistons :o, rebuild trans, new valves lifters, new seals and bearings, new timing belt kit, homemade 2.5 inch down pipe.

Well heres both of my cars togather








That down pipe and CV axels are a pain to get apart!


Heres how i got the exgust spring clips off

I wanna see pics of your tdi! :D
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.

I have a oil pressure gauge and i need to know the best place to drill and tap a hold for the sending unit.

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.

Good looking project, are you on ncdubs?
Many things we do naturally become difficult only when we try to make them intellectual subjects. It is possible to know so much about a subject that you become ignorant.

Hey man! thats awesome that its one of few in our state! It is in excellent condition for the year.

Im thinking of a way to TEE off the oil port, i know what your talking about but i dont know how i would tee off of it.
