Which cars are fitted wv 1z , ahu, afn, engines.

Passat mk1  (might mean mk4 )

What donor did you end up getting?

Oil cooler will be worth keeping surely. Are the ahu 1z engines from golf (transverse) able to accept the standard right drive t3 engine mount then or is it only the transverse afn code 110bhp engine blocks that, that rule applies to? Reason I ask is I have a sharan afn Tdi in my van with a standard mount and I also have a 1z motor out of my old golf I was going to donate to a mate for his Atlantic and trying to keep the conversion cost down for him

That's interesting. When I removed the afn from the bluestar I bought it out of it had a remote oil cooler fitted mounted to the load floor area in front of the rear trailing arm with 2 pipe running up to a sand which plate on the factory oil cooler. I toyed with the idea of removing it as its something else that can go wrong/ get damaged. There is certainly no thermostatic control on it, is it really doing more harm than good? If so il stick with simplicity and bin it.

It had been played with. .   So I bought off ebay vwaudinewusedparts an apparent pallet of golf engine. Ecu loom and all I need of a golf bits for this conversion .    I know it's a risk since I've relied on someone else to take the loom out, not heard the engine running. But it's saved loads of time. Also I've not needed to tell the misses yet. A scrap car on the drive would be obvious!     Now I have it all I've lay everything out and all looks present and correct.   I've started to clean the loom of some of the stuff I don't need.    The engine looks virgin. Now I've got to stay calm.   My wish list on bw is about 300 notes.

£300? few things to add yet then...?

Yep I think selling my oil cooler and the aaz will probably pay my BW wiSh list. Yep I've thought of a few more items this weekend to add to the wish list!.   But I think I'll take the oil pump off the aaz when I steal the sump it's only 2 years old..    The oil temp guage I have hence shortly after a oil cooler was added.   I'm pondering where to fit the tdi loom, ecu, and fusebox.   It's massive!!!.    I do like the idea of having a proper immobiliser. I have not told the misses yet about my plans and the hours of banging, swearing and her faverate thing engine reving.   I just need to sit down with the wife and explain why the perfectly good working aaz is effecting my manly hood.   Being over taken my trucks on hills is bad for us men and unless I go tdi our boys will never be able to look up to me as a real father :)

Cheers for the links.   And very interesting.   I think being sober when cutting the loom is probbably sensible.. day after boxing day hang over permitting:). Something I noticed in the pics on the link was that the turbo had not been indexed and the oil return was back to the block.   I tried to index mine this evening it refused to turn.   Either it's really really stuck or it's dowelled.   I don't have a jx sump.   My aaz setup I used the block hole and some sexy eBay an fixings.   It's been perfect. No oil smoke ever.   The ahu turbo is different and positioned differently. It's hard to approximate 50 degrees with the engine on a pallet.

Most of the loom is cleaned up.   Still got the fuse box. I,m sure I can get this gone also but I may wait until its in and running.   There are just a few wires I'm not sure about.   I can make a engine mount easy enough, but I thought I'd check out costs of pre made ones...   Holy cow!   Maybe I should design one from lazer cut plates and breed them :).   I design loads of suspension brackets.    (Engineer at spax).     I know it's only Boxing Day but the engines at work 25 miles away and I want to get cracking
