Even though they aren't the best place, PartsPlaceInc out of Michigan is probably the only place I think is available to find info on 1.9 IDI engines

Well, it appears my success was short-lived. After 84 views in 5 days, I'm sure someone would have mentioned a parts manual if one existed. Very disappointing.

Hello everyone. I've spent the last year swapping a 1.6TD JX into my 1981 VW Vanagon (replacing a broken 1.7KY NA Motor). I've swapped everything from a donor vehicle that I test drove shortly before removing the motor and transmission. In the process I replaced most the seals and sensors (aside from the head gasket and injector pump). It's now finally in my bus, cranks and starts with the cold start pulled all the way out. When I give it gas or push the cold start back in it sputters and dies. Here's what I've checked so far:Set the belt timing to TDCSet the injection pump timing to 0.9Bled the injector linesFed fuel directly into the injector from a clean container to bypass the filter and make sure it wasn't a filter problemChecked for power at the solenoid and glow plugs - yesI have photos and video of the following but can't post them to the forum. I'll update the thread if I get permission.A photo of the injector pump timing set to 0.9.A video of the engine running and (you can't see it) but I push the cold start cable in and it stalls out. Please ignore the unfortunately timed air compressor turning on right at the end. You'll also hear my garage mate spraying the compressed air in the background (that's not my motor!) a video of it running roughly and you can see the bypassed fuel system. Is it curious no fuel is coming out of the return line?Only thing I can think of is to advance the pump timing but I don't really want to move it forward from the recommended settings until I've exhausted everything else. Thanks in advance for your help!

Parts get old and worn. That was the case with my latch. I did manage to repair it enough to get it to work but I really wanted one in better shape. Glad I found one.

I haven't had that one happen in a while.

I seem to remember someone on this forum that has access to some form of exploded view drawings and part #s for the individual pieces but dang if I can remember who that person is

Since I had such good results with my first question, I'll press on with a tougher one: Is there such a thing as a parts book for the 1.9 diesel? You can download pdf's of the factory parts books for all manner of Volvos and Land Rovers, but I've never even heard of a factory book for the VW diesel. Does Volkswagen even have such a thing?

That was quick! Thanks to the one who so promptly replied with that. Much obliged!

Seems like a simple thing to me, but I've wasted over 2 hours Googling it to no avail, so I figured I'd just ask: Can anyone supply a dimensioned diagram showing the flywheel bolt pattern for a 1.9 diesel? All I need it to show is the bolt circle, and the offset of the odd one out. The only one I was able to find is defaced with an idiotic Photo-f#%$-it watermark. (I'm not computer-literate enough to be able to figure out CAD programs and just draw it myself, in case someone was about to suggest that, but thanks anyway.)

I found a cable, the puller and the complete upper and lower latch assembly for about 95 shipped. So I am good to go once it arrives. Maybe by the middle of the week.
