Franken Build, Need Parts Help 1y and 1.6TD Mixup

[vwpieces]

Looks like you remembered to put the T-bolt in the waterpump before putting the alternator bracket on.
Ha. Hate it when I forget that after all these times.
Moving right along quickly.
 It looks great.
Took me hours to find the little standoff for the MK2 upper timing belt cover.
 But I got a chance to organize fasteners, inventory the hoard and did actually find one.


Is you lower timing belt cover from an AAZ or AHU?
 I'm thinking AHU.

Of course I remembered the "T" bolt.
After the alternator mount was on.

But you missed the upsidedown motor mount.

This thing has been apart and back together so may times now. Just wait till the next time it's apart to address that too. And that, and that ..

i sold him some of these bits, the lower cover is off of the ahu that's currently in my car. I think the aaz and ahu lower covers are the same or close enough, i used the aaz one on my ahu because it was already trimmed for running a v belt. 1.6 lower cover is different, the split where it meets the upper cover is more of a straight line where the aaz/ahu has kind of a z pattern

Only remember ya saying TDI, don't know engine code. Had to open center hole for the cast 068 pulley. Might need to remove the metal ring to clear the V belt too. Need to dig out an alternator. 90A on Jabbit, same bracket, and had to custom make an adjustment arm. Going same route here.

And had to post this one.

I have both covers (and a few 1.6 lower covers) here and I like the AHU one better.
 It looks stronger around the pully. Sounds like that makes it hard to use with the V-belt crank pully.
Makes sense, it's opened up a lot on the AAZ lower cover.
Glad he has someone local helping him with parts.
 These 1.9s are rare and can be hard to find parts for in the US, especially plastic parts.

Oh that motor mount is upside down, dang it.
 I fill the gaps in mine with urethane. Almost impossible to find the V-shaped heavy duty motor mount.
Parts geek said they had them for $35, then sent me the weak one they had for $10.
Refused to make it right so last time I bought from them.

 The head on the broken AAZ I'm playing with has a KS head on it.
 I really hope it survived,.. but a thrown rod can cause a lot of damage.
