Hi everybody,
Been forever since I posted here but now I'm nearing the point where I might finally get my swap running!
Swapped in a running TDI out of a '96 Passat into my '83 Jetta which came from the factory with a 1.6td. The TDI has been fitted with a mechanical Rover pump and about all that needs done is hook up the cable shifter on the 5-speed trans, install the clutch pedal (this thing came from the factory with an automatic - go figure), plumb the aftermarket intercooler and a few odds and ends.
One of those odds and ends is: how to hook up the glow plug wires? The TDI had one (or two?) wire(s) with a plug on 'cap' that ran from glow plug to glow plug. Is that right? Some of it has disappeared. What should go on there and what is the interface (if any) with the standard big wire that came from the glow plug relay on the original Jetta 1.6td?
Anybody?
And I have lost the little banjo bolt and hose fitting that bolts to injector #3? What is the proper name for that thing? Any anyone have an idea as to the source?
Thanks in advance.
Mark
