mk2 diesel coupe!

[e30vr6]

hey every one. Just joined up this morning, iv had a mk2 jetta diesel coupe since august. i bought it as a 2nd car wile my e21 (320is) is off the road for a full turbo build. So far im loving the chassis, power has left a few things to be desired (haha) hopefully it will be a bit better when i figure out a custom intake and 2.5in exhaust, and possibly a guilles fuel pump.
Anyways enough talk on to the good part! The pics






And literally an hour after I took these pics I did the single round conversion.

Only done a few things so far, lots of maintance, sound system (deck and speakers might throw a sub in soon),  momo steering wheel,  and single rounds
To come in the next few weeks neuspeed springs some shocks (not 100% sure what yet) and more maintance

If any of you guys as an idea on how to set up a larger intake please feel free to post up!

Very nice coupe!  

I still have to pick up the shell, but that's what I am eventually building too!  A nice 2 door diesel Jetta.  

Also really dig the E21 3-series, I love the '80s bimmers.  I've had a few, '81 528i, '84 533i x2, '86 325i.  What engine is in the BMW?  320, is it an m10b20 2.0l 4cyl?  CIS or motronic?  Very cool car.

320is would be the 2 liter I6 no?

Nice cars.

It looks like you either have a vacuum leak or a clogged CCV because of the oil that is coming up your dipstick.

This whole thread is good. Specifically the first post and the stuff on page 4 answers your questions about the air intake

Thanks guys! the bmw is a m10 1.8 (4 cylinder) running full cis


Could I get some more info on this clogged CCV? If only seen one vac line so far? Could it be the one coming off the valve cover? Or are there more?

#1 points to the CCV. It's inside and built into the valve cover. You can clean it out with WD-40 or valsol or something similar. You can test to see if it's clogged by removing the hose  just above it with the engine running. Be advised that some oil may spray out and speckle your nice engine bay

#2 is the vacuum line. It connects to the vacuum pump. Not sure if you know this already or not. Anyways, it likes to leak and if it does it will draw extra air into the engine which can cause it to puke oil. That green cap just above the vac pump is what I would check first. With the car running just feel along the hose or listen and you might be able to detect the leak.

take the intake manifold off and clean out the CCV ports on it.. ive seen them clog before.. leads to oil out the dip stick..

[mystery3]

For the intake use a gasser manifold, preferably the one from the g60 corrado and an adaptor like this: http://www.bahnbrenner.com/vw_audi/products/1949/MkII_T_Body_Adaptor_to_3
or diy and then plumb from there. I like to use junkyard intercooler tubes and such because they're cheap and you can find bends that fit nicely.

why do you need a gasser intake on a n/a? that COMPLETELY gets rid of the CCV ports..

i never thought it would be worth it to add a gasser intake to a n/a...

ok thanks  everyone!

now questions. for the CCV on the valve cover, is there something so post to be there? iv taken the valve cover off to replace the gasket and it was just a threw hole. or is the ccv on the over end on the intake mani?

hey! Another stevestionite!

[burn_your_money]

That raised up section on the valve cover is suppose to be filled with a wire mesh type material. If it's straight through you will go through a lot more oil than if you had the proper one. The previous owner may have removed it to try and fix the puking oil problem.

Did you have a plastic piece under the valve cover that sits on top of the camshaft?

[e30vr6]

yes the plastic piece was there. ill look again, bit if it has been removed anyone got a spare valve cover with the CCV they want to sell? haha.

[guy plain]

yup....PMing now !!! lol

[R.O.R-2.0]

if the CCV ports are plugged in the intake, it doesnt matter what you do, short of venting to the atmosphere, will never fix your puking oil problem..

end of story..
