So I should have come here first. Don't know what I was thinking going to one of those other lists? Please forgive me!
So at long last I have my 1.9AHU bolted to the 5-speed trans with a slightly beefier clutch, aftermarket trans mount, cable clutch, bigger axles, calibrated Bozio 520 nozzles, etc. And I'm all ready to drop it into the Mk1 Jetta coupe
and I post a couple of questions on that other list about timing my Landy 300TDI mechanical pump.
Sheeesh. I must have really pissed off some dude over there after I told him I couldn't figure out what the heck he was talking about. First he says not only will he not help me in the future, but then he says my entire set-up is wrong and I'm in for a world of hurt if I don't figure it out before trying to assemble. Who knew Donald Trump was into VW mTDI conversions?
So here's the deal. Bought the pump off of some shop in England on Ebay. The seller assured me it was working fine when pulled.
Bought the pulley sprocket off some seller here in the states. He said it was made for the 2-part ALH pulley.
I had the pulley hub machined to line it up with the cam pulley/idler/belt, etc. Also had the pulley hub bolt holes reconfigured to match the sprocket. If some of this doesn't sound right, it probably isn't as I had all this stuff done about a year ago and then the Jetta project had to take back seat while I got 'Van-no-mo' back on the road with a newly rebuilt trans for the AAZ motor in it.
So 'Vanamo' is running but badly in need of finishing (rear windows, rust repair, paint job) and I need to get the Jetta running as a daily driver.
Seems like a bunch of you have done this exact same Landy mTDI conversion already and might be willing to help? Puuullleeezzz?
Does that hub sprocket combo look right? Where the heck did I get them (for future reference)? I mean are they both ALH pieces, or is the hub from the Rover pump? Once I get the pump oriented towards fueling on number one cylinder (I understand the keyway corresponds with the fueling nozzle on the rear (I swapped the ALH nozzles for the Rover nozzles), how do I actually set the pump timing? I have a Harbor Freight dial gauge but what exactly does that tell me other then when the plunger is at the top of the stroke?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
