B4 td & tdi have no lambda sensor, they do have a 'cat' or 'dpf' though, this is separate from the down pipe on the AAZ (1.9td) cars but part of the down pipe on the 1Z tdi's Chop it out & weld in a bit of straight pipe :twisted: Rich. Ps. Td's are quiet on the exhaust so you can bin the res...

Might be able to help you re-home the tdi cluster if you don't use it & a few other bits

Rich.



Ps.

If you do use the cluster keep its 'sub' loom as opposed to the vr one, might be slightly clock-specific

They come off easy with a bearing puller

Rich

If you need switches (f&r) or handles I should have some in the shead, possibly some other bits

Rich.

I've got one from my B4 tdi here (in the scrap pile next to the garage) with anti-roll bar & wishbones, it'd need the newer type hydraulic engine mount & engine bracket (1 bolt to mount not 3) Only issue is I'm probably miles away from you :neutral: For the record, the mk2/3 golf subframe di...

Erm, pass.

I just go in & badger them for discount

Sorry

Rich.

Just fitted the type in the link above to my mk2 golf, nearly half that price from gsf B-) Think you can use the later (mk3 golf type) 2 part / separate bearing mounts without issue, maybe cheaper :???: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Golf-Mk3-1991-1998-Front-Suspension-Strut-Top-Mount-Bearing-X2-/2512...

You thinking rear hatch or front splitter?
Think the mk3 golf vr6 splitter can be modded to fit the front bumper on the B4 and I did think about getting a t5 Volvo hatch spoiler to see if it would fit

Rich.

I've got a B4 tdi pedalbox that I can send you photos of but its sorta needed so I'm keepin it

I know a B4 'box fits a mk2 golf so cant see the mk3 being much diferent (& the mk3 golf one fits a mk2 I'm told )

Rich.

get a B4 TDI pedalbox?

or (I'm guessing here...) a mk3 golf item as it shares much of the Passat's design??

Rich.

think I've got one off my last B4 in the shead, will have a look sunday

Rich.

Any idea as to what is wrong with the aaz? Not too hard to fix & not as expensive as a full conversion

Mostly anyway

Rich.

it will be a aaz 1.9 td, easiest swap is 1z tdi which will give you a much better engine with improved mpg, you just need the 1z ecu, front loom,intercooler set up and obviously engine Don't forget the pedal box with brake & clutch switches aswell as tho potentiometer for the 'fly-by-wire' thro...

They are second hand tho do could be shagged!!!

Springs carry the cars weight, shock absorbers , well they absorb the shock (dampen the springs oscillation)

I vote

I used mk2 golf F'K coilies on my last B4, different sized rear lower shock mount bolts (m10 on mk2&3 golf and m12 on B4, I drilled the shocker's lower bush sleve to a clearance but you could just use 10mm bolts as per golf) Also passat had different rear topmounts to golf, but these fit the sam...

I just got a momo boss off ebay for y Nardi but remember the pcd is way off so you need to get an adapter plater - also available on ebay. Some of the 'cheaper' bosses are drilled for both omp/sparco/momo & nardi, I had one but had to tighten the screws that hold it together as they were loose ...

Mk3 golfs have cable clutch / rod gear linkage 'boxes (020) in the aaz engined cars & hydraulic clutch / cable gear linkage 'boxes (02a) in the 1Z & ahu (or tdi) cars, it is the 02A 'box needed for the B4 (I think :-o ) The (02A) gearbox code is stamped on a 1 1/2" x 3/4" flat surf...

Isthat a direc fitment or does anything need to e changed to fit that newer box? The gear ratios mean nothin to me! I could live with 3k at 90 or there abouts! What other cars did use that other box? Should be, The other option I have is I hae a cabled driven recently refurbed box sitting at he yar...

I had a similar issue with my (B4 AAZ engine & cha box converted) mk2 golf, turned out that the selector tower in the 'box was the issue with crunching & selecting gears (although the selector fork tips wore away on 5th gear so couldn't get 5th :-o ) I'm going to fit a B4 TDI (ctn???) box as...

Bigger turbo = more air = needs more fuel Not just a bolt-on mod, exhaust needs looking at to allow better breathing & a boost-gauge aswell as an exhaust temperature gauge should be on the shopping list to save melting things I had a straight pipe exhaust on my tdi b4, not too loud & more re...

The afn uses 'vnt' so is more complicated to controll but possible as a mecanical throttle system, also the turbo would interfere with the engine mount on the b3/4 & golf etc conversion

Possible but only nessessary for big power & headaches






Rich.

Look for a breaker b4tdi & use the std. fit intercooler & pipe work, saves lots of haste & fits neatly

Rich.

Different sized tyres front - back (or one side) as this can amuse abs.....

Rich.

Power steering pump has gone on my 2.0 CL B3! Has anyone got one of these in their spares, or do you have a link to a breakers that should have one in stock? Thanks in advance Okey, slightly embarrassed as I've only just noticed this but.... I might have a few b4 pas pumps knocking around :oops: Ri...
