Parts for Sale/Wanted / Re: WTB :::: 1.9TD K14
« Last post by oblique on September 29, 2023, 12:36:19 pm »I understand these are cores but i do not keep anything with excessive play, radial and axial, anything badly corroded or with broken parts. Both these units are complete and feel good. I haven't tested the wastegates butni wouldn't hesitate trying either of these on a motor....these are the good ones ive saved.
Also pictured are a pair of T2's...even harder to find these, only came on early AAZ Passats up here.

And a way to mount the MK4 cable shifter, which has a nice feel and lasts a long time.
I haven't bolted one up to a 1.6 yet though.
I'm curious if it could pull the car up a hill and against a headwind in 5th with an 02J diesel trany.
Seems like the high gear is taller than the 020 from the MK1s.
The AGS (MK2 TD Jetta) trany I'm using is way high in the RPMs at 70mph.

IDI Engine / Just wondering about this transmission troubles
« Last post by ORCoaster on September 28, 2023, 10:21:00 pm »I was watching something today and got to thinking about all of us who have trouble with the aging shift mechanisms in our 1980s vehicles.
Does anyone know if a Honda or Toyota CVT transmission can be adapted into our older VWs?
I know there are plates that allow transmissions to fit our diesel engines from other manufacturers but has anyone knowledge of a CVT VW?
One that runs off our four-banger engines?

If you need a venturi to create the vaccum,
then you will be creating a restriction in the intake.
Like the venturi in a gasser creates a vacuum.
I don't want a restriction in my intake.
You will be real happy with a VNT-15, once you control the turbo.
Even a knob on the dash will let you use it.
Most of the time you can leave it on half boost.
Get an EGT gauge to calibrate it.

Ebay.uk might be a good place to try to find the boost control actuator. Forgot how much folks liked to fight on vortex
