Mk1 2.0 16v abf conversion

[Preen59]

Yes, but the gearbox will still be as heavy as your car and you will have to fit the cable shift mechanism too.

Plus the massively long cable clutch will be really heavy and will pull through the bulkhead on a Mk1.

I think what Matt is trying to say is "Use an 020 instead".

is that an engine mount to lower the motor?

i cant remember where i saw/read this, but does the bonnet of a golf 1 have the clearance for the 16v abf manifold? because it's a tallblock.

The block is only 10mm taller. Valver had/has a Mk1 with a Seat ABF in it...

Nope, that's what's needed to bolt up the 02A Gearbox to the MK1.

Tall blocks fit in Mk1s. I have an 8v tall block in one of mine.

020 31kg
02a 38.5kg
02m 51kg
info from the net.not much weight difference and 020 could not handle any more power and 02a would be good up to 300hp stock.
custom mounts and cable+mechanism around $600

[Preen59]

Actually the 02a is about 25% heavier if you do the maths. 7 or 8 kilos might not "seem" like much but it actually amounts for a fair bit.

ok i will take but what about benefits
is it worth $600
or if anyone know if there is any cheaper

finally started some work on the abf engine today. i remove the p/s pump,a/c compresor,alternator,belts and various brackets etc. in with the new alternator bracket for a test fit and find out that the original alternator can not be used with it. bracket is original vw for abf non a/c. does anyone know what alternator should i look for?

[peedman]

vagcat.com it to find out if the alternator is different. if u want an alternative u shoulda bought this a/c delete instead:

i bought one and sure its not 100% pretty but it spins straight and u can reuse everything that u already got.

Belts that might fit a mk3 non-A/C setup:
These are six-rib serpentine belts - that's what the 6pk means. Measurements are in mm)

PROPER belt - Continental 6PK 0894 (this belt has 6 ribs, and it is 894mm long)
other belts:
DAYCO 5060390 (it's 6pk by 0990mm)
DAYCO 0560455 (it's 6pk by 1155mm) and I don't think this is right!
DriveRite 390K6
Gates 6708 or K060388 or K060390
VW part number 999.192.283.50

Notice the spring:

That's what tensions the alternator.You loosen the pivot bolt,and the 19mm tension bolt,and let the spring tension the alternator,then you just tighten the bolts and roll!
