T4 Tdi Conversion

[Volvo Driver]

That's what I wanted my parents to do to our 2.4 idi, or even just put the turbo on, man that thing was slow, and I hated the fact only heat came out the sides, but I thought the A/C came out the centre.

And even with more power they get better fuel economy, which is awesome.

So the next conversion going to be the Syncro drive line? Last time I pulled the engine out of a TDI T4 it had the auto attached, THAT was a fun job.

Good evening,

My name is Mario, I'm from Quebec Canada

I'm having the same kind of project as your in 2008, I was based in Poland for a while for my work
and since the Canadian Government didn't accept my request to import my T4 TDI 2002, I decide to bring the gearbox and engine back with me in Canada as spare part in a container with the rest of our goods, in order to bypass our import system.
I also bring the complet ECU, ECU Harness, ACV Engine, ECU and Harness, Dashboard, down pipe, and some other things just in case.

It took me a while to reinstalled the complet kit, because I was looking as you for something clean in order to install everything, because in North America they stop import those Eurovan (T4) in 2003 and what remain on the road are very rusty. So I finally found a 1999 perfect and clean weekender body with climatronic to install the complet kit show room body (nothing to touch perfect paint and the rest of the mechanic A1).

I remove the VR6 with Auto Gear from that T4 and reinstalled the complet kit TDI (ACV) with Manual Gear cluster, wires (Harness) etc.

I tought my project was almost done, but since we took that engine in 2007 from Europe and took a while before installing everything,
I'v lost a little on the memory side... I bought the T4 manual from bentley and the T4 Workshoop Manual (Green Book) from Brooklands that book is covering:1.9 (ABL), 2.4 (AJA, AAB), and 2.5 TDI (ACV, AHY, AJT, AUF, AXG, AXL, AYC) from 2000 on...


The probleme I'm dealing with actually is: Wiring stuff, I put everything on place, but I'm having issue to start the engine.
I"m almost sure it is a wirring issue, since we have several connectors remaining free.

Engine turn, but it doesn't start sometime he almost start, but it react as if the shut off valve on the injection close because of missing 12 Volts, but that is not the case, there is power. Since i'm starting from far in that project, i'm a bit lost now.

My main issue at the moment is that I have several cables from the cluster that I can't park, some connection are missing.
(I mean extra connectors from that I can't part on the fuse block and some colors connectors 1 and 2 pins that I can't connect, since I don't fine the matching connector (Cluster harness) Cluster issue: no blue backlight, left and right flasher harrow not blinking, the temp I don't know since the engine doesn't start, and the most of all no communication with the OBD2 connector.

I will really appreciate if you can give me a hand with my project.

I will be waiting for your reply, hope you can give me some advises.

Forward to hear from you soon, if you can send me a phone number PM to my email
I'll get in touch with you to discuss more in details.
