Jellybellys LD Diesel Front end resto begins!!

have you got a bigger picture of it mate

i thought it must be right esle they wouldn't sell them like that, all the pictures i've seen of the diesel gasket they all look the same.

i'm going to fit it tomorrow anyway

Good work, re HG, take old one to supplier and match up?

it's the correct gasket but just seems odd the holes dont marry throught with the block

Good work man!

ok then everybody, been busy with this over the past few weeks

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

rattling and smoking like she's never been out of action!! well done mate  :mrgreen:

Woop woop Babs alive.

god damm i love the sound of diesels.....

well done mate  8)
Bert

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

you need to use a dti gauge in the back of the diesel pump,set it to 0.95 for optimum running and good cold starts  :wink:

smellllllllllllllllllllyyy chipfat cars….

nice one bert

just bought a adaptor to fit in the back of the pump

i shall wait for that to arrive

Nice one Jelly

right all timed up to 0.95 and it's running lovely

still a little smokey but it needs time to run in the new rings and everything

so all i need to do is tax it

Good to hear man.... I am planning to rax her too to use her over the winter.

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

1 week of trouble free motoring and loving it

lift in the slow lane…. MK1 Golf Diesel

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:

yea just getting used to it again

yea sits at 70 happily just takes a bit longer to get there
