MkIII Golf 2 litre in T3

 

 

pumps are available as are seals for afformentioned? why create work for ones self?

I dont have the diesel hoses that most people use, but i do have a load of waterboxer pipes and lots of joiners and jubilee clips. Cheers for your help.

Getting a bit confused about the different diesel parts though... no personal experience with diesel!

 

Which bits have to come from a JX?

 

Obviously engine bars and bellhousing are not engine specific, but what about the sump, starter and oil pickup strainer?

 

Cheers!

 

 

good shot on the next page too! end of cylinder head outlet goes to heater matrix and returns to the oil cooler tee (cant see that well in any pics) but its identical to any standard diesel so get yourself some diesel water pipes and cylinder head outlets off a jx?

 

Looks like bayvelle has some for sale.....

 

First question though, what is the difference between the 2E and the AGG coded engines ?? is it purely down to different spec'd components like ECU working in conjunction with a transponder key etc ?

I currently have a relatively low mileage 2.1 wbx so have the AAP gearbox, good start i suppose, & have my eye on some engines that are available at the moment, one being a 97 plate GTi covered 95k, can be heard running, with all ancillaries loom and ecu for a very good price. As you can imagine, i want to be fully clued up before jumping in with both feet, so any do's or dont's and tip along the way would greatly be appreciated.

After trawling through the normal places, i am struggling to find a diesel bell housing atm, would anyone know of somebody they could put me in touch with that has got one for sale ? guessing i should expect pay something in the region of 30-£60 for one ?, judging by what has been offered fairly recently. Not sure what diesel bars i have currently, but could get some others no problem but am i right to say there are syncro diesel bars that differ ?? all the other bits i have sourced and have to order tomorrow. Since deciding to go the 2.0 route, i have to say i have been fixated on the threads of Jonox's panel van, Garyd's, (both excellent stuff !!) and that shot of Ruben's pic of his engine on a stand showing the simplicity of the exhaust system rather than a series of snakes connected to a wbx 

Starting to really bond with the old brick now as it too needs tlc as, the usual places needs attention so have started to get suck in and give it everything it deserves as, we have had it a few years now and intend to own it indefinitely, or rather, let the van own us  

Ideally, i would love to keep the cc's to 2.1 but i'm sure that could be dealt with eventually but, unsure of feasibility of torque gain over an already healthy 2.0 & if at all economically viable ??

Your thoughts please and any advise / guidance would be welcomed gladly
