Re: T3 Bathroom?
I don't mean to be disrespectful, especially to an upstanding member of the Club80-90 forum, but that looks mental! Such a huge amount of extra weight, and faff, just to add a portapotti?

AAZ Cylinder head needed, help appreciated!
I have an AAZ in my 1988, and although it's running really sweet thanks to my T25 loving mechanic, I have two cracks around valve 3 on the top of the cylinder head. I can't seem to find a used cylinder head and at the minute I can't afford a new one! If I could I know I'd get one from Brickwerks, bu...

Re: Intermittent Speedo, Syncro
The part that determines the accuracy of the needle is actually a coil that unwinds as you increase in speed. It then returns smoothly upon slow down. I had a really terrible dashboard in my T25, so I managed to source an early German diesel model (100,000km odometer max, whereas mine was 999,999m m...

Re: New T25, has a TDI Passat engine
looks like a 90/110 VE 1.9 TDi to me My favorite was the ASV coded one which was happy with 11mm pump and .216 nozzles giving 155 @ wheels for 250k miles in my A3 Great in a T3 I would think :ok if yours is a 90 hp unit just fit .2 nozzles and it will go to 110 hp or .216 to 128 hp so easy to tune ...

Re: New T25, has a TDI Passat engine
Not surpising the company was dissolved. Hopefully they're not still in business under another name. They either knew it wasn't a TDI or didn't know the difference - either way not good. As for your van: the AAZ TD is a well thought of engine and at least one of the reasons some people fitted a TDI...

Re: New T25, has a TDI Passat engine
So it's a bit of good news/bad news. The good news is that the AAZ won't lunch the gearbox and the ratios will be fine. The bad news - well there really isn't any. A TDi really would need a gearbox update which is not cheap. There are lot of people driving AAZ engined buses, enjoy yours. You're rig...

Re: New T25, has a TDI Passat engine
Hi guys, Just an update! I took my van to my friend who is a 'Transporter Whisperer', knows all models inside out and has owned many of these T25s with converted engine, doing many himself. He basically tells me its an AAZ engine from a Golf or Passat, so a 1.9TD not TDI. The invoice quite clearly s...

Re: New T25, has a TDI Passat engine
The options with a TDI are generally (a) an electronic injection pump (which you don't have) along with a grafted in donor wiring loom, ECU and likely/possibly an immobiliser of which you would be aware; or (b) an expensively or lovingly fabricated mechanical pump that will allow the TDI to do its ...

Re: New T25, has a TDI Passat engine
That is definately not a pd engine. looks like a 90/110hp tdi variant as fitted to passats judging by the angle of the oil filter with a AAZ INJECTION pump connected. Dont know what the performance is like-do you have a turbo fitted? i didnt think that type of pump would operate the injectors corre...

The garage that did the work was called Little Compton, GLOS, G56 0RR.
Any info would be much appreciated!

Re: New T25, has a TDI Passat engine
Are you talking about a flipped box if so I believe the best option is the audi box. If you do go this route then you'll need adaptors, etc. all of which you can get from Tim at ultimate engineering. If you have the 4 speed box from a petrol engine bus it will probably be undergeared. Really helpfu...

Re: New T25, has a TDI Passat engine
Okay a PD motor is a TDi. If it was done well it will have an upgraded gearbox which will have the gearing to suit the PD motor. The cooling system will be the same regardless. I have an invoice for a 'reconditioned gearbox' in 2008. I'm guessing it might not be the correct one for the new engine.....

Re: New T25, has a TDI Passat engine
Welcome. Firstly, are you sure that it is a TDi? It could well be an AAZ which is a TD but not a TDI. The chances are that the bus was originally a 1,6TD model and if it has changed to an AAZ they will simply just swapped the motor (and a bit of electrical work). It will have the original gearbox a...
