Title: Need to find pre ignition cups for a 1.6td head?!?!?!?!?!
Post by: thebubs on November 27, 2008, 06:09:32 pm
I am new the VW diesels... not vw's. I am getting my head rebuilt this week and I was asked to supply a few parts. All I can get, but I dont know what a pre injection cup is. The rebuild shop told me mine were crazy cracked.

Can anyone please tell me what it is and/or show me a photo.

Thanks guys

My "machine chop"  put in a used one.  I'm still looking for a source for new ones also.  

There was some discussion of someone producing them, but I dont remember it going anywhere.   Here is the link

http://www.vwdiesel.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=15783&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

Someone posted a link of a website that listed them but it was a company in Germany, website in German.  I found that link also but its inop.  Itzdshtz posted the link in the above thread.

Here is a link to a 1.9 pre-cup that seems to be available... Maybe the head could be adapted.

http://vwdiesel.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=6987

I also read somewhere that pre-cups were available for 6.5 chevy heads.  Maybe they could be adapted.

Edit:  I found a working link for Itzdshtz's link..

2nd edit... Now I dont think it german.  I dunno what language that is.

I like that second one, it says "Questions? I'm happy to not answer "

Guess Customer service isn't a priority there?

Alright guys..... they are about 10$ canadian each. Not sure if that is a good price but I dont care... I want to rebuild my damn motor.

So if anyone is interested in buying some get at me before Monday night. I will buy about 20 of them no matter what as this will come up again I am sure.

Would be great if I was able to have everyone get in on this!

uh, I ran it through a currancy calculator and thats 7-8 bucks apeice in US dollars.  

Whats the shipping from poland to canada gonna add to my price?  Is it hard to get stuff from canada to us?

Oh by the way, my engine is MF code which is listed on the page.

I am not too sure. I am going to be buying these on monday night, and will do the calculations when they get here. Will pick up about 24. Use a set for this motor, and keep a spare so I will have 4 sets for sale.

I will only be buying MF code cups.... unless someone wants something else before monday. AAZ cups are still available so nobody ask me to get some from Poland.
