Title: My cabrio TD
Post by: ACCELERATOR on August 28, 2006, 01:49:28 am

Hi all!

Here are some pics of my cabrio. I just replaced it's 1.3 engine with 1.6 TD from my old golf 2. The replacement took me about 2 weeks with my friend.
The hanging of the diesel engine was different from the old one, the 5-speed  gear box's leverage is quite different from the 4-speed one, etc... Now is almost done:

you have a filter on the air intake?  or is the compressor wheel sucking in free air? :?:


But it looks good!!  

what size of intercooler tubing did you use?

Yes, the K&N filter is behind the rain tray.
I think the only disadvantage of the N/A pump, is in full trottle below 2500rpm, when it smokes too much. I just dont push it too much, below 2500, so it doesn't smoke.

I'm not sure about the exact size of the intercooler, but it's big enough :wink:
It's the G60's intercooler, but mounted infront of the radiator, where it is cooling better than this mount:

Trev0rbr, if there is a stink, it's a way behind me  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

You should probably seal that gap @ the top of the radiator a bit so the air will actually go through the radiator when the fan isn't running.
