Comments to Nate, not me! -----Original Message----- From: Nate Wall [mailto:NWall@envasns.org] Sent: Friday, August 25, 2000 11:53 AM To: Audi-VW-Diesels@egroups.com; vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM; diesel@vwfans.com; sdelasal@yahoo.com Subject: Re: [Audi-VW-Diesels] Some questions...on a diesel engine in a vanagon 1. The Full Load Stop screw is turned Clockwise (in) to increase fueling. Ususlly, 1/8 turn will suffice, and certainly no more that 1/4 turn. Note: Must remove the stainless steel anti-tamper sleeve that is spot welded to the screw to allow adjustment in. When I did mine I removed the screw (the pump body will drain diesel), put it in a vice (don't damage the "O" ring), and cold chiseled it off. Hint: Count the number of turns it takes to remove the screw. Then install it the same number of turns for the same initial setting. 2. ??? 3. I guesss somewhere around 50 - 60 h.p. (the Ecodoesel got 58 - 59 and does not have the boost enrichment diaphram on the pump. Compression figures for the TD are the same as the NA: 500 new, 410 min? and no more than 75 psi variance? 4. ??? --Nate >>> <sdelasal@yahoo.com> 08/24/00 07:44PM >>> Todays selection of Q's are... 1. Which direction do I turn the pump 'fuelling' screw to adjust max fuelling - clockwise of anti-cw? 2. Is there an archive for this list that I can search? 3. If I put a TD engine in my vanagon but run it with a non-td fuel & exhaust system, what power should I expect? Anyone know the compression figures for the 1.6TD engine - can't find them in my Bentley manual - not surprising as the engine was never an option in NAmerica. 4. Anyone got any leads on a good NA or TD engine suitable for a vanagon i.e. known good oil pressure & compression pressure - ideally, not too far from SE Michigan Thanks... steve
