Hi Dave, Thank so much for you video. I have a 1978 VW 1.6 cc. Rabbit diesel. I did exactly what you did the engine is working now, but the RPM are to high and making a lot smog. I want to ask you if the pump need to adjust. I really appreciated if you can help me in this matter.
You are missing the top radiator card as well. This keeps the radiator from pulling hot air from the engine bay. You can make one from cardboard or from a yard sign material.
Hello Dave. I have a 1.9TD engine I’m putting into my 1992 Jetta GL. This engine is a replacement for my 1.6TD which blew up. I’m looking to advance the timing and adjust the fuel screw. Do you happen to know what stock timing should be as well as where I can safely advance to?
hi Chris, i would recommend you get a Bentley manual to find exact numbers for your engine. however, my recommendation would be 1.05mm at tdc. that is stock for a 1.6td so i would imagine it would work for your engine. as for more advance, i am not sure and would look it up in bently manual. sorry for not having more info. Dave.
Its super easy. All you have to do is run a positive wire from your battery to a solenoid (I used one for a lawn mower starter) then wire up a switch for the solenoid inside the car and hook up the glow plugs rail.
Hi Dave I have a 1974 peugeot 504 It has a va4 pump, I'm resea.ling. The throttlevalve was leaking, anyhow the pin on it was broken off so I had to get a used pump for parts. It's identical ive reassemble it with the best parts from both pumps. The 3 shims for the port to closure one got lost,so I'm going to try n run it anyway. The timing advance has shims stock is 2 I added 2 as the land rover adds 3.not sure 8f that's safe or not. The injectors have new nozzles. With aftermarket fuel water filter separator better than stock. Have you rebuilt your injection pump? How many shims are in the bosch for its port to closure? That's the shaft the delivers fue.l. My car is a non turbo with a bigger radiator and added electric fan in combo with magneto factory fan . Dual fan switch 2 temp setting to start each fan as heat increases, and cool down when engine is shutoff. So advancing the timing is going to heat up my exhaust? Done with shims or adjusting it witch one cause greater heat risk...
hello! Yes I have resealed a VE pump. I don't recall the shims you are referring to. but I do know that advancing the timing will lower exhaust temps to a point. my pump is timed off the rotation of the pump not a shim. hope this helps!
Hi love your video I have a 85 Jetta 1.6 d learning all the processes to do the same thanks was fun to wach
Awesome! Thank you! I'm glad it was able to aid you in your learning.

yes i would say that the pump needs to be adjusted down on the throttle side.
hope this helps

It's not given me any issues with temp management but thanks for the info!
please turn music in half

Dave.
would be better without the background music.
is this a 1.6 44kv motor, is the pump set to 0.85 for a 1991 engine
this is a VW 1.6 diesel. I have no idea what that 44kv motor is. For a VW 1.9 diesel engine I'm not sure what the correct timing is for it.
I want to know how to convert to a manual glow plug switch

Where is you intercooler?
this is my na 81 pickup. i still have the td i built just haven't posted anything new.
