If your car has climatronic then a passat (b4 I have done) glovebox is too deep to fit, BUT big bodge and chop the back of the 'box off then fiberglass a new 'back and jobs a goodun B-) The tray underneath on glovebox equipped cars won't fit the aircon cars as the heaterbox is again in the way :sad:...

Ive been told theres a B3 tdi (atleast its badged as such ) in Swansea being used as an accident-training car for ambulance crews
as the tdi was available in Audi at the time I would have thought its possible in B3's as an option

Test the boost under load when driving

HI, i am just curious in to the differences between the AAZ (passat/golf enine) engine and the ABL (T4 engine) engine, i think they are both TD engine and niether run an ECU, but other then that i cant see any other difference to them, could i use the ABL engine in my passat? cheers Glynn ABL is 68...

golf has smaller diameter bottom bolt on rears so passat wont fit golf but golf will fit passat if you use the golf bolt. I drilled the sleeve in the golf rear coilies bottom bush to 12mm clearance & fitted them to my estate, not bouncy atall unlike what people say :???: They are fk's off a mk2...

Doooomed or repairable? Hope they / their insurance don't rape you

Mine's the same, diesels have no throttle-butterfly so create no vacuum in the inlet manifold (hence the vacuum pump for the brake-servo) so the crankcase breather system is atmospheric as opposed to that of petrol engines

Mine is a 1Z B4 with 310,000 miles

Stupid question but....
Have you checked the timing?

Do you know what code 'box you have?
I've just striped an AAZ engined B4 estate & will have a look to see what code that is for comparison

Have a look at this list to see what 'box you have

I think my 1z tdi B4 sits at 3000 @80 summit

As above but if the senser is a multi-wire type check that all the connectors are in the plug, sometimes people 'pull' plugs off by the wiring not the plug sometimes not undoing the clips or wire holding them on.. This can pull one of the connectors out of the plug so that when its replaced on the s...

If your car don't need the 'cat being pre '92 you can remove it but remember that cats have a good scrap value so don't throw it ;)
Also a clean air filter will help aswell as cleaning the spark plugs and maybe redex with an 'Italian tune-up' to blow out the cobwebs

Think Haynes but without the spanners

Has it actually failed an mot test? Spoke to one of the testers I know and he says that as they have slight play / movement when new that 5mm is not excessive :???: (said that ford ka's suspension flops everywhere when lifted and that's within specs...) I put coilies on my b4 and that had about 5mm ...

Consider what the price of a chip or re-map would buy in other parts, a de-coke/lap in valves/service is usually cheaper if done yourself and will probably give more in terms of restored performance and economy than spending on a 'supposed' xyz BHP increase (unless done in conjunction with a rolling...

More fuel will (should) give more boost. Just watch that your exhaust gas temps don't get too high as your turbo won't be happy %-( http://www.vwdiesel.net/forum/index.php?board=6.0 Should help, I have a tdi in my b4 and that is electronically Capped to 7.5-9 psi (although it is possible to frig it ...

Hard to say exactly, just have a look, maybe run a flying-earth to ground as a temp check? Also check for corrosion on the terminals

Greetings from Ammanford, my name is Rich. but answer to Zed. (As in the police-academy films) I have a '95 B4 variant tdi as my daily smoker, with more miles than the space-shuttle (306,000), herse-bars, down a few on fk golf coilies and strait-piped exhaust just to listen to the turbo :twisted: Al...

1995 daily drive met blue 1.9tdi variant with more miles than the shuttle :D Down a few on fk coils from a mk2 golf with stock tins for winter rubbing front arches :roll: Aircons been given the pill along with airbags and now has a modified glovebox B-) Lurking around Swansea area :D Also have a '95...

If the light(s) flash alternate to the indicator in a rear cluster check the wiring plug and its body earthing
