IDI Engine / Re: I am starting a 1.6TD build version 2, hoping for more than 40,000 miles :D

« Last post by theman53 on April 10, 2026, 05:06:23 pm »

been a long time. Just wanted to see if this thread of mine still existed. I sold the engine to Steve for the land speed record pick up and I believe he did advance the record a little with the head on, but had pump issues and couldn't fuel it enough to really push it. I still have the car with the pump and turbo, going to scavenge it for parts soon

IDI Engine / Re: upgrade for the 1.6td

I use flicker to host pictures.
 I'm wondering if he's talking about the passenger side (timing belt end) motor mount for a rabbit.
V-shaped is the heavy duty.
 Upside down man is the standard.
I've never had them cause vibration,...
 I hope it didn't go in upside down.

Let me guess you don’t know how to post a pic here.  Use Imagur or some other third party phot site and use the link they provide for pics to a blog or forum. Use the first box below the bold B above and insert the image link there. 

I think that is right but play with it, preview your post prior to posting and see if it works for you.

IDI Engine / Re: 2.4L D24T Oil Pump OE Number interchangeability

If the eBay pump is truly an NOS 069115109G, it should physically fit and work on your D24T.
If you want absolute certainty, check the pressure relief spring spec or ask the seller if it’s the “same flow spec” as your original pump

Hello people.

Is this engine mount an upgrade for the 1.6td or a Downgrade???

I installed this and my car started vibrating like an earthquake.

Should I change back to stock??

Cars for Sale / 1985 mk2 golf with mtdi alh engine located in Turlock,california

The whole golf is broken down in panels in primers because it was going to get blocked and painted.

I was driving the car around but it isn't tuned right I'm told. It's got a rover manual injection pump,stock injectors and a new era manual turbo which I can't remember the name. Alh TDI engine and it's got a hydrolic shift pedal kit,ctn mk3 tranny I believe for best mileage.

There is also a $1000 rad/ intercooler setup upfront. Only thing I remember not finishing is a safe way to make intake tube forward of airbox to have access to flowing air and not picking up water?

The car is stuck at family's and I'm in no shape to deal with it and would live if somebody could take the whole setup!

No windshield. The interior and dash was there now dirty I assume. Brand new covered headliner. Golf is 4 doors,no sunroof. It did have good tires at time but car has sat years in shop.

I had brand new amps installed with deck,components up front, and dual 12" woofers in the back
