I assume that is their price to install and set the timing?? If it is then it's right in the ball park.

Hi guys - i have a 1.9Tdi 90 BHP diesel which seems to have suufered the same fate.

bent most of the valves in the process.

I have a new head that has been fully rebuilt etc.

i m just worried about the pulley - the part no i have is 028 105 263 D - would it be ok to go buy this part again or is there an uprated version of this part - dont want to be buying the part if there is a risk of it happenign all again.

thanks and sorry if i hijacked the thread.

That price is just for the part!

I spode it has lasted over 10 years, and it is a good preventative measure since my sprocket and bolt are fine, but £266 for a pulley? Thing is with the van is I am chucking good money after bad, and it's still a shoddy rust bucket! What would happen if I welded it up, or fitted a pulley without this harmonic dampener?

Hey guys im a little confused here - why is the puley so expensive - the pulley for my car is only £21 - how come its so expensive for yours.

I too am confused! Ask VW.

I guess they will say it is because the pulley ahs this Harmonic dampener on it (mounted by rummer)...what car is your pulley for, does it have this dampener?

So, got myself a new (replacement) head
While I was at it had it rebuilt, will get it back tomorrow..
Not cheap.. 125 euro for the head + 330 for the rebuild including all gaskets..
new valve seats and guides though, so at least it will run for a while..

Just need to get myself a new model balancer, anyone know how I can recognize a new one?

I have the AHU engine - pulley 21 pounds and bolt 2 pounds.

I was fortunate to be able to get a fully rebuilt head with new lifters,seals valves etc ( genuine parts for 150 pounds ) mates rates. Should be getting the car back today/tomorrow.

costing quite a bit to get it all done considering headgasket. seals etc etc.

Sure taking my time I hear you all think

I was planning on not spending too much, but as these things go, better to do it right.

Does anyone know what the partnumber is of the new and improved harmonic balancer?

"Did you know that VW changed the part number of the 1.9lTD harmonic balancer for the latter half of '97? Somewhere in that year, it seems they put on the same harmonic balancer that they used on the TDI, engine code AHU. It may have something to do with the crank bolt loosening - but I don't know.

Here are the details:
028 105 243 R / AAZ ('94, '95, '96, '97 Jetta)
028 105 243 T / AAZ ('97 Jetta) / AHU (TDI?)"
