    Smile Need rear springs + axle for Mk2 GTD!

    Hello all!! Be patient... I'm a newby! I've got a 1990 Mk 2 GTD wiv a 1.9 Tdi under the bonnet Diesel I hear you groan!!). Need a few things.. Complete set of rear springs (think they are the same as carby petrol and not the lower GTi springs). Could also do with a Mk2 Gti disk braked back axle assy, oh and a speaker cover for the drivers door.. some heavy footed oaf (me) broke the last one! Thanks!

    Post Turbo Diesel Mk2 continued!!

    Back again.
    Ok, what ya want to know.. In the uk the Mk 2 diesel was common place. VW then introduced the 1600 td in 86 or 87 I think (same basic engine as the Transporter diesels). Those who know more please speak up! This Td was good but lacked initial power, and suffered from turbo lag. In 1990, the 'GTD' was born. Same engine, water cooled and wastegated slightly smaller turbo but with the addition of an intercooler mounted above the gearbox. This made them go quite well once warm. (You still needed to keep the revs up to keep them moving but I managed to regularly acheive 180kph on an engine that had done 300000kms +!).
    Some had power steering and a rev counter. All had the double headlights. None ever had Gti suspension but hell do they need it!
    Ok. Your turn! would someone just give me a quick description of how to put photos on here! Ta!

    You could try Aydon as he had a fixed height kit off me and only wanted the dampers.

    Yup, just going thru it now ready to get it registered in a few weeks. Not sure what they'll make of the diesel engine though!
