Nice pics. Fun to see your project. One tidbit I would mention is that you shouldn't use copper anti-seize with aluminum. If any electrolytic corrosion occurs, the copper is more noble and the aluminum (head, intake, etc...) will become the sacrificial material. Instead, nickel anti-seize should be used with aluminum.

Nice work - but the dog steals the show every time!!!

Catching up on the work! Surf has been horrible this summer, so tons of time to do mechanic

I replaced the Tee'd hose between the water pump and the cylinder head with one from a T4 1.9 diesel, 028121053N, straight shot.

Ordered from Just Kampers, it got here so fast and for very reasonable shipping costs. Amazing.

I also got a pigtail connector for the Tdi alternator, the pin closer to the rounded part is for the alternator dash light.It is labelled "L"
Part number 1J0973772.
Beware, the conector 1J0973722 is almost identical but doesn't fit.

I finally found a decent spot where to mount the Pierburg CWA50 pump for the charge cooler. It is best to have it mounted horizontally; so I couldn't mount it on the left of the electrical box in the engine bay.

Stainless steel M6 rivet nuts with minimal shoulder

I made a gasket out of some inflatable boat material to not have it metal on metal.

I'm also working on the power steering.

Here is a reservoir bracket I modified to bolt on the driver's side carrier bar bolts next to the tail light. Perfect location, much better than the original diesel location next to the fuel filter in my opinion. (especially since I have a lot of stuff happening there).

I'm using an aluminum cooling pipe from a 1993 Eurovan steering pipe. 701422091A I have to shorten it and change its angle to fit from the Eurovan power steering reservoir to the metal pipes under the battery tray. The Eurovan power steering reservoir is the same as the Vanagon but has the fittings going down instead of horizontally. I didn't plan on having the coolant filling reservoir in the way, the reason why I'm using the Eurovan reservoir.

Notice the baffles inside

It will fit on this brace I made out of aluminum to be mounted between the carrier bar bolts, on P-clamps. The aluminum cooling hose will be necessary since it's mounted right above the muffler can

I also replaced the return fitting on the Tdi power steering pump with a Toyota fitting . I found it out browsing pictures on Google thinking the mounting bolt was with a 12mm head, like Japanese cars, so maybe there's a pump out there that has the same type of fitting but with a different shape. I know pump makers standardize a lot of things, the odds were good for it to be the same diameter, which the o'ring part number confirmed.
Suction port 44337-24020
O'ring ID 12mm x 1.6 90301-11016

I'm also scratching my head on where to install this air filter minder. The brass filter nipple is 3/8-24 on the minder side but is nothing on earth thread on the other side. It looked like M10x1 but slightly NPT, so I was tired of not finding a nut for it and I cut it with a M10x1 die to fix it. Problem is, it's supposed to be mounted on the clean air side, and no way I'm mounting that on the plastic hose from the air filter to the turbo with a nut waiting to be swallowed by the turbo. I'm thinking maybe remote now, with a hose...

Since I'm also installing a SmallCar in dash AC ( https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=...;start=120 ) , I'm replacing these baked rubber grommets on the wiper shafts.
I sprayed Fluidfilm too everywhere behind the dash.

Alright, see you later! I'm about to pick up this 1984 Datsun-Nissan Maxima 6 cylinder, 50th Anniversary edition, 1st owner, 89.000 miles, no rust, full options for....$1.

it runs on 5 cylinders for now, but easy fix.

Looks great! I like that IC pump.
