AAZ first start-up.. Noisy?

(1/2) > >>

Keasbey:
Hey guys,

I recently purchased a 1993 golf with the AAZ.. it was a non-running car when I bought it. But the previous owner told me the engine was running strong, but the injection pump was toast.

So I replaced the IP and put a new timing belt on while I was at it. I never had an IDI before, only a 2011 TDI. Is an IDI supposed to be way noisier than a TDI? My wife could hear from inside the house... to give you an idea.

I'll post a video as soon as I have figured out how to put a link in here.. I'm wondering if it's a rod knock or simply the way it sounds...

Keasbey,

Sounds PERRRRRFECT.   Yeah, much more noise compared to the newer diesel.  Let's the wife and all the pets know you are on the way home as you turn the corner or pull into the drive.

Keasbey:
All right!! Thanks for the reply!  ;D

I can't quite read the label, but if that is a can of starter fluid (ether) then NEVER USE IT AGAIN on a VW diesel!  It has a tendency to break compression rings on these engines!
