    FOUND! WTB ALH Stock Used Pistons

    Popped the head off and found a wee bit of my pistons melted around the edge, block looks good though. Just looking to get a set at a reasonable price so I can rebuild the motor as an educational experience. I dont think I need the rods or anything else but if it's easier for you to include them...

    Mk4 jetta 1.9 tdi upgrade injectors for sale

    It sounds like we need a good writeup on how to properly store injectors long term! I've got an engine all together that I was about to take apart and rebuild. I'd like to know a good way to store my injectors for a few months while I go through the process.

    Another TDI ALH no start

    Another TDI ALH no start

    I've seen them with 1" air I'm the clear line and the majority of them run just fine. Did you vacuum out the injection pump? Make sure your cam isn't 180 out... first 2 lobes should be pointing upward in a v shape at TDC.

    ALH Head Camshaft cap cracked

    Title pretty much says it all... am I boned? I can't just use a cap off of another head right since they are head specific? What should I do?

    timing belt and serpentine belt age

    I have no doubt that the car I am buying needs the belt changed... I'm just wondering if it is safe to use the sellers belt (assume it isn't a prothe). I mean, I could also just get the belt for $40 and use the rest of the tbelt kit, which should have a longer shelf life... right?
