more of the build up
this is the injector seat that cracked, not the pritties of things but does the job
tappet shims sourced from blans thank you
new injection pump, rather than the one i had before that i wasn't to sure about
bought from gammy thanks mate
so everything is back together, after a long time on the road it's finally alive again
here a bit of a video of it running, sounds beautiful
so thats it!!! the beast is alive again. just a couple of bits left to sort out, then some tax to get and i'm back on the road

nice one guys
well happy it's up and running
small problem tho
it's a bit to smokey for my liking, the video you can't really see it very well
it's very smokey when i rev up, but it is white smoke that i believe is unburnt deisel
but when i pull the cold start level the smoking gets less, no reading on the interweb this leaver advances the timing a little to help things get running. am i right?
also if it's correct that this makes it smoke less, does this mean my timing is a little out??
cheers diesel nuts

had a bit more of a play yesterday
advance the timing a little more to stop the smoking and it worked so i'm at 1.00 now so i shall run it for a bit and tweek it if needed
been reading alot on the vwdieselparts.com forum and they talk about deisel purge so i ran some of that throught to give things a clean and i certainly did that. the stuff left at the bottom was black
also got some new injector nozzles to rebuild them after i've run it for abit, and also ordered a injector pump rebuild kit as the accelrator level seal is leaking so this need sorting
also gave it a quick wash ready for taxing it and the first drive out for 6 month… cant wait
not a bad effort for a saturday

Matt, the 1.6 diesel is quite nippy, I happily ran at 75 - 80 mph with mine, dont be afraid to go a bit faster :wink:
