If you take your engine from the Passat B5 or Audi A4 you will need a special engine mount for the non turbo side of the engine block. The the in-line tdi engine block is different from the Golf tdi engine block What can be confusing is that these engines share the same engine codes 1Z, AHU, AFN etc, but they are totally different castings.

From memory the standard jx mounts will fit the VW sourced engine. You need to decide if you are using the jx exhaust manifold as you will need to re index the turbo and also source adaptor plates so you can use standard exhaust.( Tim at Ultimate engineering supplies these). Other points to consider are which clutch - i used the solid golf flywheel and TDI clutch as i had a (modified standard gearbox) with no dramas but you may be using a flipped passat box? There are many variables all documented on this site so you need to decide the route you are taking (usually cost based) and go from there. Ten more people can advise you.

Hi Andy,
Looking back at your rebuild in 2012. What would you do differently. How did the engine perform and did the syncro gearbox handle it well? Could you please give us a feed back on your finding, driving the AFN conversation? Regards

You inspired me to have a go at doing mine Andy. I had some checker plate laying around the place so used that and a door mat
 I have an early bash plate but late exhaust so had to cut it as I went along to make it fit. I only had time to do the RH side as I only had a spare couple of hours this afternoon but it does seem to be quieter.     jed |

Metal insert with o-ring (like on Golf engine) pushed into hole. Curly JX dipstick shortened and welded on. Hey presto, looks like the oil leak is sorted...

Vaniller, yes it's virtually upright.
I like the tinware too. Still got a full set on the shelf, including the exhaust cover off my old Atlantic. Got a shiny stainless back box though so conflict of interest.

I do like the engine tinware , should get myself in gear and paint mine up for when the van returns. That's presuming they will fit with the tdi engine??? Can't imagine why not.

Very simple, and now you say it very obvious. Does this cope with the engine being canted over? |

(for the time being) I have left the AFN tube in situ, cut it down, popped a JX holder on and used a JX dipstick, also cut down and remarked. Apart fom the lack of external access it is sealed and solid.

Vaniller - FWIW my 'bodged' install with JX dipstick tube sealed with an o-ring and a bit of silicone is holding up OK so far.
Lee - thanks, but it did take me a whole day to make the two. The whole conversion would be very costly if I put a proper value on the time I've put in. |

[QUOTE=..lee..] not had problems with drilling the tdi dipstick and pressing the jx tube in to it. is this how yours is done.
andy thats a really neat job my engine gets bloody filthy without the guards. Hi Lee, yes drilled and squeezed in. Then silicone over that. Not done by me though. Leaking a bit but can't tell if its a thimbleful or a cupful hence why I want to upgrade the junction. Perhaps stripping and re squeezing a new tube might be an option... |

Very nice looking engine, particularly like your mock up of the piping without the engine in the way.
Quick query on the dipstick. Mine has been drilled into the block and siliconed but is passing some oil. What options are there for a better fix? Thinking about tapping and brazing the tube to a hollow threaded pipe...then threadlock this in. Anyone tried this? |

Off to the BW open-day Sunday, so long as Baxters Iltis holds up some laning is in the offing, so I made these from 0.9mm galv steel to stop my nice new motor getting covered in shite:

Right, CCS is done. A while back I'd found a NOS stalk off a Golf or summat which is near enough, had to trim a tiny bit off the cowl for clearance. Length is fine with the 'velle steering wheel.
Some headscratching was involved, as I'm using a 99 ECU, and early CCS stalk. The 99 CCS stalk has an additional switch position and one more pin. I found I had to common the 'spare' ECU connection onto one of the other ones to make the ECU see the CCS as being switched on. I can forward details if anyone needs them. |

Yep, fitted a Mk2 Golf 3-pin sender pn. 321 907 345 A, and TDI ECU seems happy with that. Vehicle speed seen by the ECU is a bit under the actual speed seen by GPS, but the ECU has a compensation factor which I'll have a play with. Next up will be CCS !

Tim, don't forget the Syncro speedo is 1000rev/km vs the 500rev/km of the 2WD, so I hope the normal hall sender may work. Watch this space.
