WTB: new prechambers for 1.6td
« on: August 02, 2007, 07:16:06 pm »
My prechambers all have multiple cracks.  The only source I have found doesn't ship to Canada.  Help!

What source did you find?  The only source I could find for 1.9 head pre-chambers wasin Canada :?  They will not ship to U.S.  Go figure.

The 1.9 chambers are much bigger, I am not a machinist but I don't think it would be easy to install them, plus they the heads tend to crack more often with those chambers between the valve seat and the chamber maybe due to the larger size and I have also seen two engines drop a chamber into the cylinder on the 1.9, never on a 1.6.

Part# 028103391M. 1.9 combustion chamber insert.  Previous post is correct the 1.6 is smaller than the 1.9.
