By chance, do you have one of the rear wheels blocked/stopped? Not sure if your syncro has a rear locker or if you are just letting the applied torque go through an open differential?

Be sure to have your injectors checked out by someone who knows what they are doing. .230 injectors are very large, I have .216 injectors in mine and they are more than up to the task of propelling t ...

Being that it has a broken motor mount I would probably say it's an ALH. Post some pictures if you want better confirmation.

Engine Type: TDI AHU

How many miles on donor engine and what year of make and model: 65-70,000, 1998 Jetta TDI

How many miles have you logged since conversion: 7000 miles since completing it in ...

Ask him to put some miles on it and check it some more. I personally don't have a problem running a vehicle that has had repeat problems (like SB) for 50+ miles before calling it good. Ask him to dr ...

No problem, it's for the love of the Vans. And to get to know the good people who drive them. Hopefully you made it to your destination up north and were able to return home without more troubles.

I have the k03/04 hybrid in my Westfalia, I only have about 4200 miles on the conversion. It's pushing 19-20 psi with 11mm pump, .216 T4 bosch nozzles and a Mike L. Chip (tdtuning.com). I get a wisp ...

Yeah, good idea. I'm still having some issues with mine popping out of 3rd gear. Basically it's the same symptom as the OP is having, only in 3rd gear instead of 4th.

Very nice trip, I agree about the engine and power output. It's amazing to have that much power and the economy too. I love your front intercooler exchanger's cover you made, your forum thread helpe ...

Was this head ported by Frank? That's too bad about the troubles. How many miles did you put on during this trip and average fuel consumption?

Yeah, what Andrew Libby said, you can put them in after the head is on, just make sure the threads in the block are extremely clean and the threads are cleared out.

To clarify, I have absolutely ...

I agree about the head studs and 3 hole gasket, make sure they are the arp2000 headstuds, as they are a lot stronger. That's what I put in mine and I'm sure I will never have a headgasket problem (kn ...

Wow what an ordeal, if I were to guess about the head gasket being blown, I'd guess that the pump timing being off could damage the gasket, then the combustion gasses made it overheat.

We use a 2" memory foam pad up top and fold it in thirds at the back of the top so the bed can fold flat. The top closes just fine, it does have to compress the memory foam a little bit to clos ...

If/when you start it again, just have the intake hose off the intake manifold, if it is indeed the turbo, it might make a mess, but it would be better than a blown engine. If it's injector pump relat ...

Just an fyi, I have the DK trans with stock 1st and 2nd, and a 1.14 3rd and the .70 4th coupled to an AHU with some power enhancements and it's able to pull our Westfalia 2wd up an 8% grade from 40 mp ...

I'll second the Justice Brother's JB80, definitely the best I've used.

Looks good, I'd call this upholstery work, not sewing Smile
