He wanted about 480.00 US plus shipping.
I could not get a straight answer from the guy. Would not identify the maker, would not send any pictures of the front of the head, would not send any of the part/ casting numbers from the head. I've never had someone be such a dick when I was trying to give them money!
His ebay name is:
ecstyling -- now to be refered to as dickface
Heres how it went:
"Who made the head? Is it vw, Kolbenschmidt,etc.. Does this have the OEM part number on it? Is this NOS?
Thanks, Jim"
dickface "What is your vehicle VIN code?"
"This is going into a 1985 golf. The head is going on a 1.6TD hydraulic block that I am building up. The veh vin wont work. I do not have the vin from the doner car. It was pulled from a canadian vw diesel though.
Is this a OEM head? I dont want a chinese copy.
Do you know what year this one was made? There was a change in valve size around 96 with the AAZ. "

Reply(from dickcheese): We are not able to provide any support or confirmation if this (or the non TD 1.9 head we also carry) will be completely compatible with your application. This is intended for an AAZ engine.

More from dickface "It is not possible to put a 1.9 aaz head on a 1.6TD because of the intake ports are a different shape."
"Thanks for your response. I am familier with your comments. It is a long process, however it does work. I have a custom intake and exhaust. I need a replacement for my current 1.9TD head. Could you please tell me if this is a OEM head, or is it "like an oem head"? If it is OEM, who made it? Does it have any casting numbers on it? Is this new old stock?
I have a line on 2 used heads, but was considering buying yours as it is a "factory new" unit.
Thanks, Jim "
Asswipe "Reply: Correct, all our engines, long/short blocks and heads are sourced directly from the VW factories and thereby Original Equipment Volkswagen yes."
"Sounds good.
Do you have the ability to take some pictures of the head? I would like to get good pictures of the ports, the front of the head where the casting numbers are, and the top and bottom.
Thanks, look forward to doing buisness with you.
Jim "
No reply, so "Please send your phone number. I would like to talk to you about this head. If you could, I would like to see some pictures of the head. Front, back, top and bottom.
Thanks, Jim"
knob "Q: Please send your phone number.
A: As indicated to avoid misunderstandings and to server our customers in the most effecient way we keep the communications in writing.
Q:I would like to talk to you about this head.
A: How can we help you?
Q: I would like to see some pictures of the head.
A: Please refer to the listing for picture. As we have indicated this item is NOT suitable for your application and we are not able to offer any support for such applications."
"OK,
You said this head was from a VW OEM parts factory.If you know who the maker is,would you please tell me. IE.Kolbenschmidt, Mahle etc.
If the maker is unknown, would you please pass me the numbers off the head, I should be able to cross reference them.
I asked for the pictures so I could see front and bottom of the head. Your listing photo does not show the front or bottom of the head. The rear photo does indeed show the D-style ports. I have talked to other seller's with 1.9TD heads and asked to see the front of the head only to be told that there are no casting codes or numbers, or that they have been ground off. I will not buy a head like that. I am putting a lot of money into this rebuild, much of it centered around the head. I only have enough money to do this one time, so I need to make sure everything is correct. I asked to see the bottom because sellers have said "complete" before but the pre-chambers were not included. Thats what I get for assuming. Thanks, Jim "

"We are sorry but any questions or issues you have (or have had) with other sellers you need to take up with them, we can not help you on this matter."
"MAN, Im not laying that on you, just giving you some past sellor history. I see that you have great feedback. Does this head come with the prechamber inserts? Are there any casting codes on the head or is it blank."

"Q: MAN, Im not laying that on you, just giving you some past sellor history
A: We do not understand what you mean by 'laying' and 'sell or'.
Q: Does this head come with the prechamber inserts?
A: As we have indicated this product is NOT SUITABLE for your vehicle."
"Look, I know what I want to do with the head. I know it works. I know guys running this set-up and they have been for years. It should not matter to you guys if I said I wanted to use this thing as a toaster. You have covered yourselves with warning me. If you want to sell the head, would you please just answer my questions.
Does this include the pre-chamber inserts.
Does this head have any casting codes.
Will you tell me what they are."

"Q: It should not matter to you guys if I said I wanted to use this thing as a toaster.
A: Yes it matters, we are sorry we can not assist you with this, we only supply our OEM parts to be used in the way the factory intended them, sorry!"
"Fine, you dont want my buisness, I will take it elsewhere.
You guys are rude, talk out your ass about things you don't know about, and your unwillingness to give up basic information leads me to believe that what you are really selling is a line of ***. Good luck unloading your POS crap wang heads. Knob"
Well the search will continue
