where do you get the injectors checked on these things? The motor seems to be running good, much better after i timed the injection pump. So i'm hopeful that nothing is wrong with the motor, i'm guessing the glow plugs were like this from before i bought it, but who knows. I'll see if there all like the one i pulled some time tonight if i can get it in the garage. I've only got a compression tester that goes up to 300psi, so i guess i'm hoping to max this out if i do get the injectors out. How do people like the rebuilt injectors from vwdieselparts.com. I'm thinking about some from there. Any other places that you can get them for a better price?
Thanks

http://www.autopartsonlinecanada.com/ has cheap injectors, if you want turbo ones look under the 1984 diesel rabbit, they are listed there for some reason. I buy from that site all the time and their products, shipping time etc are all excellent. They won't ship to the states though but I could forward them to you for the cost of shipping if you'd like.

I always get a ground strap off a domestic at the j-yard (the braided ones) and run it directly from my negative battery terminal to underneath one of the starter bolts. I find that makes a huge difference.

Turbo diesels do require slow glow plugs, it's to help reduce smoke. You glows have to match your glow plug relay.

the vwdieselparts.com site has rebuilt turbo injectors with heat sheilds for 43 a piece, that seems like a good price. Would come close in price minus the core charge as the autopartscanada place. I'm guna change the glow plugs and see where that gets me. My guess is the motor is a little down on compresion(i'll try and check that too) and it needs good glow plugs to run. Could running the motor with pour pump timing about .74 cause the glows to cut off? Just curious as the timing was at that for a bit.

autopartsonlinecanada is great for us Canadians. if you live in the states you can't even order from them. ordering from the states into Canada is pretty bad... customs rapes us. i ordered some raceware studs from vwmike, and the customs a$$holes ripped open the package to let the studs bounce around and nick eachother... no serious damage but come on... what bastards!!!

well i did the glow plugs today and she fired up but it wasn't all that cold out. I think it was definately the problem because all the glow plugs were screwed up. I also noticed that i had a line missing that goes from the pump to the turbo,(comes from the very top of the turbo) i hooked that up before i took my ride and wow what a difference that seemed to make. Pulls a lot harder when the rpm's come up. SO i'll test her in the moring. Now i have to go fix my snowmobile...

I only have problems buying stuff from the states if it is shipped UPS. USPS is awesome.

If all 4 of your glowplugs are bad and they were recently replaced you may want to look into what caused that as previouslt mentioned.

That line is for the LDA; it tells the pump to inject more fuel according to boost. It certainly makes a huge differance

i cant remember, but i think vwmike marked it as a 'gift'... maybe they just target 'gifts'... argh

UPS charges a minimum brokerage fee of ... $40 which is pretty much outrageous... imagine if customs charges you 50 bucks for something... that is an added $90 on top of shipping etc... pretty retarded. but i can buy something from germany with NO customs fee's or ANYTHING. really makes me mad

You should probably make sure you don't have other problems first, but for faster, more efficient cold starts you could get these injection line heaters that are made for folks using biodiesel and svo:
