Need rear springs + axle for Mk2 GTD!

[gldgti]

hey mate,

you have an actual TDI under there (as in DIRECT injection???) m-tdi or a mk3 loom in there?

anyhow, i have a bunch of spare mk2/3 suspension bits. got some lowered spirngs if you need. also have a standard mk3 CL rear axel, stub axels not included.

but im in NSW

thats a small bumper, i thought post 1990's were big bumpers?
did you have a conversion or was this standard for the GTD?

great looking cars!

engine looks like some aaz bits and some 1z bits.... manifold is TDI but injector pump is AAZ looks like, not the electronic TDI pump. i would guess aaz.

I reckon it was a 1.6TD and he swopped out the 1.9 engine and earlier mechanical pump.

Good to see some poms bringing cars with them instead of getting here and realizing its all too late.

Should have brought the rocco tho as well.

Hey... you fellas are all good at this. Yup, it's an early 1z Tdi bought on Ebay Uk, the block has all the same mounting points as the old 1.6 so bolted straight in (1.6 clutch on it's limit though!!), and yes it's an old mechanical pump of a 1.9 td. I took a chance that it might work and it did. The Tdi has loads of torque but seems to run out at the top end. I still have the turbo off the old 1.6.. Nearly twice the size of the one on the Tdi. I know if I fit it I'll loose the bottom end grunt but would like to see if it gives me more 'scope' to play with the top end revs! I've got to get it over the pit yet... Friday!!

As for the small and big bumpers, I think (tell me if I'm wrong) that UK cars were small bumper up to 1990 (mine) then big bumpers came in 1991.

Scirocco.... Yeah, I know that should have come to, but so should a lot of things. It was bad enough gettin the GTD out here... They all thought I was a stubby short of a 6 pack in the UK!

Thanks for the parts offer's. I'll let you know how it goes over the pit on friday!

[gldgti]

ahh mate its really the injector pump that will limit your top end, if you fit the t3 you'll end up with something very slow.

check out www.vwdiesel.net and the FAQ section, should be a help to getting you clued up to make more power

Thanks! Will look it up now. Good news! It went over the pits and passed. The Tdi engine number aroused a bit of questioning though!! Smile nicely and agree seemed to work. Look out for the diesel smoke haze over Adelaide as the pump was opened up within minuits of leaving the pits!

Hey Simon, Nigel and I are chuffed to hear it passed. His advice of keeping quiet obviously worked then.

Hope to see you smoking around town soon.

Certainly will. We plan to bring the GTD and Vr6 down to the Glenelg meet. From the pictures I've seen it's a good day. As for Regency... yeah, the 'keep quiet' policy worked. Thought I'd been rumbled on the ID check though.. they found the '1z' engine number which was not the one on the old log book.. it's now on the system as a 1.6 but with a tdi... Work that one out! Havin got used to my partners Vr6, I'm on the hunt for power steering! Rack and pump from a Gti needed!!
