Buy it, Lol.

 

You got any pics of it dude?? Would love to have a look!!!!

 

Talk to DubtechAndy on here he has a factory standard one as well its mint

 

Dirty, but its almost all there.. need to try track down the other bits for around the intercooler..

Winter project perhaps..

 

Is that not black?

 

No, its metallic navy of sorts, same as our own current jetta.. greenish metallic fleck in the paint when its polished up i think, its a nice enough colour..

 

I will take your word for it so. Looks like non metallic black to me. Well non metallic at least by the way it is gone chalky. Could be the shite pictures either

 

Bit of both to be fair.. the layer of cobwebs covering it wouldn't help either..

 

dude with the work you done on the gold you would have no hassle at all, go for it man, she could be a corker

 

Cheers man, but being flat broke..

Ah feck it.

Keep the eyes peeled for slow updates..

 

Worth a bit of hardwork in the winter i reckon mick

i remember one the same as this my neighbour had for years

 

you'll get those bits handy enough i'f say, came on g60's and gtd's so there's surly no shortage of them. Go for it, loved my gtd.

 

That colour is petrol blue.. lovely colour in the eve with the sun shining on it..
Doesnt look like a bad car at all, does it have steel sunroof? Eletcric mirrors? What badge is on the back?

 

Its got no sunroof and a regular jetta badge wuth pacific stickers..

Nothing fancy, its got central locking, rev counter and a lovely navy interior..

I expected to find a n/a diesel when i opened the bonnet to be honest..

 

...nice find; any idea why it was laid up??...if hes only looking for pennies for it, shur snap it up...

 

Not sure, its been lying up a while and wouldn't start for me.. I dunno i'll investigate it anyway, it'll need an exhaust for a start.. Are the TD exhausts different to the n/a exhaust??

I have exhaust sections from a caddy 1.6n\a if its any good; depending on what turbo is on it you could 'step up' to a 2 or 2.5in down pipe (if its the same as the one I have -K14l its a '3 stud' cast down pipe exhaust as stock with them feckin c clamps); and run a 2in exhaust 'out' with maybe one box; a turbo diesel is 'silenced' by the turbo, so you only need add one silencer to keep the neighbours/NCT man happy; generally the stock exhaust are very restrictive for TD and GTD engines...

If its been lying up awhile, to 'wake it up' and get it running; drain all the old diesel out of the tank (this really is worth doing no matter what anyone says; a diesel priming bulb and a few feet of fuel tubing will get it siphoned off; if you have a proper fuel siphoning gadget all the better use that) , change the diesel filter and drain the lines; its worth doing; after all that is done add a 50/50 mix of diesel and ATF (automatic transmission fluid) fluid; I'd add 'neat' ATF fluid into the new filter if possible to prime the pump and free up the veins;.... is there any 'clicking' out of the glow plug relay?? If the relay is past it/no life out of it, hook up a direct 12v supply from the battery to the glow plugs for 2 or 3 mins and try cranking (they might need repeated 'powering' being old; Good luck!!

 

Cheers for the tips..

Last time i had to 'reawaken' a car like that, it got a tow from a tractor.. Got it running..

it was bolloxed though and was promptly broken for parts..

the exhausts are the same apart from the downpipes, there's a small difference in the downpipes the gtd will have a more of a curve on it than the n/a. its the later 1.9td that have the 3 studs at the manifold. i bought a new 1 for the jetta out of the motor factors in oldcastle here think it was around 60e

...depends on the turbo; K03 = 4 studs; Mk2 GTD were mostly K14 or K24 turbos being 3 studs at the manifold... a lot of later (MK3's and Passats) 1.9TD's had the K03 with 4 studs, unless it had the bigger k14 with all the EGR 'plumbing' attached to it; most had the K03 tho... I have both engines here at home; mk2 GTD with K14, and mk3 1.9TD AAZ with K03...

 

Now my new project car.. got it home there earlier tonight..

The golf will be going into storage for the winter soon enough, this yoke will keep me crazy/sane..

 

good man mick. she'll be a beauty

 

Good man Mick will be keeping an eye on this good luck with it !

 

It runs again.. B)
nice to have a jetta with bhoost, as diesel jettas go its not too slow.
I've plenty of little bits to sort out on it, starter is bad, heater matrix is burst, needs bits of trim etc..

Lots of fun..

The turbo in this is a water cooled unit, with four studs holding on the downpipe.. ??

Questions..

I've spare wires.. something to do with a sensor (water temp?) on the turbo, and other wires beside the secondary coolant pump/oil cooler..

Does the turbo trigger the coolant pump when its hot or what??
Also, the solinoid on the injector pump doesn't open when you turn on the ignition..

 

Heard this badboy was on the back of a transit the other day , looks like a tidy enuf one!
