Post pictures of your VAG IDI Turbodiesel.
How she looks outside, inside, and engine.
There were similar threads in the past but they have mostly dead pictures now, besides there have been many new members since those old topics.
Sure... Mk1 & Mk3 are allowed too :) And all 'roccos, 'rados and Passats etc.
So, come on, show us your smokin' beauty!
(I will too when mine is ready to rock!)

That's a picture of it in front of a building my cousins put up in Wichita Falls, TX.
Not much done to it,... gov mod gives it power all through the range.
Boost controller holds the wastegate shut until 15psi then opens it fully.
2 1/2" exhaust all the way to the rear.
Starting at the turbo:

Hey, this is the Jetta that made me want to switch to quad-rounds. :)
What color is that? It looks like Stratos Blue, which is the same color I have, it just seems a couple shades lighter.
Great looking Jetta. :) I had no idea that it was a TD when I first saw it.
BTW,Here's my car, not a diesel yet, but will be soon.

I want one !!

i thought they only came as a 1.8 gas but from:
http://germancarscene.com/2007/12/23/ebay-find-of-the-day-volkswagen-golf-country/
Unless you frequent VW shows, there’s a pretty good chance that you won’t have seen a Golf Country in the flesh. Designed for light off-road driving, it had more suspension travel, four-wheel drive, bullbars, and a skidplate for protecting the engine area. In Europe it was offered with the acclaimed 114bhp (85 kW) 1.8 8v petrol engine, and in smaller numbers, the 75bhp (56 kW) 1.6 GTD turbo diesel engine.

Looks like I know where the Russians copied their 4x4 from now, except the diesel part - they have no clue on small diesel engines. They ran out of cash when they were to pay the $100M or so for their half VM Motori this month. GM bought the other half from Detroit Diesel last year for their cars in the rest of the world. Anyway, here a photo of what I saw in Ukraine. Sorry for the low quality. The 3D camera sometimes did this. This image you can get 3D w/o glasses if you hold your finger up in the middle of the 2 halfs and slowly bring it to your nose.

wow thats freaky cool :lol:
as for the golf country, there are very few of them left apparently. they only built a small amount, most of which aren't on this continent :cry:
(http://naotefiques.no.sapo.pt/DSC00202.JPG)
the first thing i'd do with that exhaust manifold, is modify it. the cylinder closest to the exit point will be the first one to get ruined in the event of high EGT's. the manifold isn't really that bad though... (compared to the 2.4L toyota diesel exhaust mani) but you'll need a shoe horn to fit that into a rabbit :lol:

The ILTIS came with a Diesel!
If you like that (using the Rallye golf syncro set up, if I recall)
Check out the ILTIS with a modified Quattro drivetrain
and a 1.6 diesel, sealed to be in up to 2-3 feet of water!
They say it is unstoppable..

the first thing i'd do with that exhaust manifold, is modify it. the cylinder closest to the exit point will be the first one to get ruined in the event of high EGT's. the manifold isn't really that bad though... (compared to the 2.4L toyota diesel exhaust mani) but you'll need a shoe horn to fit that into a rabbit :lol:
I'm not using that one, I got another that bolts right up to the gt2556v ;) and the turbo sits on a more central place
totally true about the shoehorn, this block is 7cm longer :(
will have to get a compatible gearbox as well

The Mk2 Looks 8) How do you mean Ibiza TDi engine mount? the later dogbone mount?
I've got a Mk3 GTi subframe and made this stiff mount:
(http://i463.photobucket.com/albums/qq352/ryan-pak/My%20Golf/SNV80647.jpg)
I've also fitted a passat crossmember so i can have a very similar mount at the front too! if it's too stiff I'll drill some holes in the Pucks.
Mine, soon to be very similar spec to gigaz2 (nearly built, M-tdi going in!):
(http://i463.photobucket.com/albums/qq352/ryan-pak/My%20Golf/FrontLeft.jpg)
not many in tornado red i believe! there are not too many vans either!
-
really nice van!
its not the dogbone style mount, came from an 110hp tdi, swapped just because the mk2 and mk3 subframes differ, although both mounts bolt right up :D
VW = LEGO? :D
-
I've got a Seat ibiza TDi sport 110 and i think the mounts seem REALLY soft, the engine moves around LOADS! the vibrations are better than a mk3 mount though!
I'm on with modding a big mount with some hokey pucks to make a stiffer gearbox side mount too.
The Van looks a bit different now, rolled and flared arches with no trims, mk4 golf steels with 195/45/15 uniroyal rainsports and I'm just on with clearing all the small patches of rust and stonechips
I think VW could persue LEGO for some sort of copyright infringement!!!!
I really fancy building a 1y diesel head with a 1.6TD bottom end and a VNT for a crazy revving diesel!

A lot of good looking cars on here.
not many in tornado red i believe! there are not too many vans either!
8) The GTD I'm picking up is a Tornado red 5 door (The missus demands a 5 door this time after two three door cars ;D )
Glad to know there aren't many around.
-
Damn...
Op just gave me some motivation.
i have the same kinda Jet.
But it is awaiting some sort of rattley engine swap.
car only has 80k miles on it too.
i really like the way these older jettas look with sport springs and low pros.
im not a fan of big wheels, but i love the 17's on my jetta.
they dont even look bad on my rabbit, they just rub on the rear shocks, even with spacers.

im in love...
i dont like caddys either..
i really like your dual pipes.
and your truck has the same wheels as my car, less the VW emblem.
those wheels look really good on mk1's for some reason.
anyway, keep up the good work, cause thats a pretty ***in ride.
-
Thanks Rabbit on Roids. 8) I still have some work to do but its getting there. Just remember you should always
show caddys love. ;D
-
no, i dont have to love them. im pretty pissed i dont fit in them.
if i would fit in one, i would have one, no questions asked.
buuuuuuut....
im 6'7" and VW pickups just dont fit people like me in them very well.
i dont even fit in 4 door rabbits that well, but some how i fit just fine in my 4 door Mk2 Jetta..
trust me, if i were short enough, i would get a caddy.. my grandpa has one as nice as yours.
im still trying to talk him into a turbo, but he says that it goes fast enough for him.
-
Couple updates:
Built a new front bumper for some added airflow. Painted the intercooler so ricers stop revving on me all the time.

1.6TD head, turbo and pump. One year old rebuild on it all. Traded a 16v GTX for it. I'd say i went in the right direction.

I always thought someone should stretch a pickup long enough to use the doors off a 2 door jetta/rabbit................. Maybe you'll be the first?? Don't know why VW didn't do it!

the suspension is identical in every way to a mk1..

it was born a mk1, its always going to be a mk1.
just because you have a sex change, does it actually change your gender? NO..
-
looks like it actually has a subframe under it, look how wide the track is up front
-
ITS STILL A MK1
what makes this in any way, a mk2?
a mk2 rocco is still a mk1 in every single way..
-
I didn't really mention what its classified as, but it you want to get technical it's always a mkii scirocco which is built on the a1 chassis and it will always be a mkii a1 ;^p

If its the second generation scirocco, then it is an mk2. But yes, on an A1 chassis setup lol.
-
Is an '83 vanagon with a 98 AHU a Mk1 or Mk2? What about an '84 vanagon with an AAZ or a '91 with an 01 ALH?
-
Goodness me, muchos discussion and contentious issues abound! :o
Now thinking about this some more, a mk2 Rocco does use mk1 Golf suspension components. However the "chassis" where these components bolt to is different from a mk1 Golf in certain areas. EG. front inner wings and longer front chassis legs.
I only posted the red Rocco because it is most definitely a mk2 Rocco, and the thread title asks for mk2 turbo diesels.
However if a car is now defined solely by the suspension components it utilises then the flood gates are now open to include the Corrado (4 lug ;)) and even a mk1 Seat Toledo, and the Polo Classic which is based on the Seat Ibiza 6K model. LOL
My green car utilises a hybrid conversion of mk3 Golf GTI (or Corrado 5 lug for that matter) front upright / wheel bearing housing and brakes. Longer driveshafts and some other bespoke suspension components to marry the lot together. It does not use the complete subframe assembly from a mk2 Golf, mk3 Golf, or Corrado. Oh, and to throw another spanner in the works I believe a Corrado is based on a Passat. :o
It's Friday night, so everyone grab a beer and lets discuss vehicle structures and components to conclude just what specific parameters determine legitimate acceptance to belong in this thread. LOL
Edit: (I am sure a moderator can create a thread split if required.)
-
the Corrado is VERY MUCH a mk2 car..
its got an 02A, thats about all the similarities it has with a passat..
if you have never seen a Corrado before, but know mk2s, then you will INSTANTLY see the similarities between the mk2 golf/jetta, and the Rado..
-
Yeah, but what about the vanagon pre and post '86?
-
Yeah, but what about the vanagon pre and post '86?
they never really changed the actual vehicle did they? just the front fascia and such?
-
There were quite a few changes. The most notable being that the engine size went from 1.9L to 2.1L and they added the Syncro 4WD option. Smaller changes included upgrading the suspension, the sliding door, interior ventilation and more bells and whistles became available like heated seats and adjustable arm rests and some became standard like A/C.
-
aren't vanagons for old men? ;)
i dunno where i'd place a corrado, it is very much a cut down passat, but very much a mk2, when you are comparing wiring, interior bits, door handles and such, the corrado shares way more with a passat. but i believe the passats subframe is a bit different? isn't the rear end of the corrado basically all passat tho?
-
aren't vanagons for old men? ;)
No, they're for SMART men with funds. 8) While it's true that the preponderance of vanagon drivers are definitely older than the average driver of a Mk2 Golf/Jetta, the reason for that is fairly straightforward. It's just that men get smarter as they get older, the smart ones get more funds and more of the dumb ones get killed off by their own stupidity. Where a totally clean Mk2 with all the bells and whistles might max out at $8-10,000. A similarly clean and tricked out vanagon with all the bells and whistles now sells for $40-80,000. With all of that in mind, while there are more older vanagon drivers than young ones, you don't have to be old to be smart and have means. ;)

I do notice a difference between early and late Vanagons. The '82 diesel Vanagon has a different trans mounting brace on the body? What I mean is, that the cross brace where the trans mount bolts to is the same as an air cooled Vanagon. The later 1.9 water cooled vans cross brace is the same all the way up to '91.
Getting back to the Scirocco. That red one looks bad ass! I love the Seat air box.
By the way, theres no such thing as a MK1 or MK2 Scirocco's. They are considered S1 for early '75-'81 and S2 for late '82-'89.
Sorry guys.
I do have to agree with Andrew on the fact that Vanagons and the crowds of Vanagon owners are way cooler than the "just want to look cooler than the other guy" VW owners.
I guess thats what growing up is like. Ya just don't care what others think about your ride. Its what "you" like.

passat 35i shares mk2 golf components right?can i be in?lol

Since I made this topic originally, I guess I can bend the rules a little bit :P
All IDI-engined VAG automobiles should be included. In the headline it says turbodiesel, but this is no problem either.
N/A guys feel free to post your cars also, since they are, after all, future turbodiesels anyway ;D
So you guys need not argua about which platform is which anymore...
*** ALL IDI VAGs then, please ! ***
...and I hope you post also your sweet engine bays!

aren't vanagons for old men? ;)
i dunno where i'd place a corrado, it is very much a cut down passat, but very much a mk2, when you are comparing wiring, interior bits, door handles and such, the corrado shares way more with a passat. but i believe the passats subframe is a bit different? isn't the rear end of the corrado basically all passat tho?
I have no idea what a vanagon is. We didn't get them in the UK afaik.
Well a Corrado with 4 lug wheel fitment utilises mk2 Golf 100mm inner CV driveshafts, wishbones, 256mm or 280mm brakes, hubs and also the mk2 Golf rear axle.
But a Corrado with the 5 lug wheels (VR6 engine) utilises the wider track mk3 Golf GTI / VR6 driveshafts, wishbones, 280mm brakes and hubs and a mk3 Golf rear axle (different bushes from mk2 axle).
The Passat subframe is different from the mk2 and mk3 Golfs and will not fit those vehicles. It is wider where it attaches to the chassis legs.
There are so many subtle similarities and differences between all the vehicles it is impossible to state one model is more like one than the other imo. The great thing about this situation is it allows an amazing amount of interchangeability between the models and components to create a hybrid of your choice.

I was just about to post my Raddo hybrid...........but it has a TDI engine. LOL

A vanagon is a T2 caravelle or transporter or, IIRC, more affectionately called a Brick in the UK.

When I took this picture, it still had an IDI engine in it...

Cheers for that libbydiesel. Over here those vans were called T25s but for some reason this is frowned upon and most call them T3s. I actually have one in my garden I use as a shed! It was a 1.6 NA IDI diesel, and believed to be slower than a week in the jail. :D

And now, back on track. The superclean Mk 2 on the left is an AAZ powered car. My truck is a Mk 1 with a Mk 3 (AAZ) diesel. Does that make it a Mk 2 ??? ;D

The one I pictured was originally a 1.6 non-turbo and indeed was slower than any other production vehicle of the last 40 years. The upside (and the reason I originally bought it) was that it contained all of the mounting and cooling system components to install any of the later turbo-diesel engines up through the AHU/1z/AFN 1.9TDIs. After I pulled the original lump I installed a 1.6TD and with intercooler and VNT, it was considerably faster than a 2.1 WBX and actually on par or better than the popular 2.2 Subaru. Since then I have installed a 1.9TDI AHU and it's performance is considerably better than a 2.2 Subaru vanagon along with getting much better fuel economy. If your garden shed is complete, you might consider resurrecting it with the installation of a real power plant or if the body is bad, use the mounting/cooling bits to do so in another van. If it's missing those bits, then it is probably put to best use as a garden shed.

Ah, what the heck.... Vag diesels all the same... I just figured this being the IDI engines sub-forum I'd limit it to IDIs, but in reality of course, we
want more pictures, good pictures and steaming hot engine pictures here! Come on, TDIs and all then :)

I spent 2 months rebuilding this motor while I was recently broke down in Maine - many more photos of that here: http://www.vwdiesel.net/forum/index.php?topic=31959.0

Holly crap ^^^^^^^^^^ that is the sickest exuast i've ever seen. I hope its ok if i do this to my car. As soon as i get it put back together im going to talk to my exuast guy and see how much this would cost. I love the sound of rain flaps.
-
Yea more then welcome to use it haha. It sounded great straight piped. Coats your hatch in soot though haha

It actually did. Well for the first two months then it just stayed a bit up at idle

Anti-tailgating device, I calls that. ;D
Gonna try and do that in a horizontal application, with the flap hinge at the top so the flap rests in a naturally close position. Hoping to get that closing flap 'tink tink' on deceleration. Ran with a VW group in SEPA who had a guy with an N/A MK1 who did that; it was always fun knowing how hard he was on the throttle. ;)
