for the first time since May 1999 GeWilli does not own a TDI kind of feeling a bit odd... even my kids say "fill up the car with fuel" not 'gas' so there's that. Now, i still have all dem der tools for doin dem tbelts and turbos and nozzles and clutches and drive shafts and everything. Maybe...

sure - why not, someone with time and space can part it out if they want, come get it soon and it can be yours for a sweet deal

It will easily drive anywhere. Come get it. I was planning on driving it for another year (until inspection sticker expired) but opportunity to replace came up.

come on, no one wants to pick this up? how about $500? don't make me take it to the salvage yard. I've come to the realization that I don't have the time to part it out myself but need to get rid of it. Maybe YOU want a part it out project? Drive it this winter, part it out once the weather...

nah, never, you'll never get rid of me, i may have to take a break for a bit but when my oldest kid takes over this wagon replacement, i'll be in the market for a set of oil burner powered wheels... But I just really hope my passion and everything i've put into this 1Z can find a good home.

Taking it to scrap yard for disposal seems easier than dealing with CL (or has been) project cars not super in demand eh? makes sense, esp given the consistency of this body to rust out, too bad the motor is in so much better shape.

$1000? Heck I'd take just about any offer at this point. Anyone? I don't have space at the house to store it. It is a good example of bad rust but good motor. Still ideally suited as a rolling test bed for a donor project. But it does run and drives no problem (100 miles on Sunday, 90 miles...

Couple points: -Car is in East Providence, RI -$2k OBO -If it helps I can deliver it to the greater DC area

1996 B4V Donor Shell and good motor, ~251k miles on engine and body. timing belt done at 245,000 Starts perfectly, no smoke in summer, some smoke at start up in winter but no smoke once warm. Clean running, smooth, and well maintained engine. Comes with transmission and clutch that has less...

i may have a 1Z engine that may be up for grabs soon (currently in a '96 B4V) local to RI, i'd love to see the car be a donor for a project or a swap w/in TDI club family.

I like the idea of two pieces with the union. I have to get that bit of flex too. Bit of vise grip work and the thing is removed. Helped to cut the line right above each fitting. not looking forward to feeding it back through under the heat shield though.

So, I'm guessing that it is not a factory part? The line blew on mine just as it comes out from under the resonator heat shield. only a few blocks from home so I was able to get back no big deal. Lines going into the brake pressure regulator from the front are in good shape, but the ones from...

Other than those stubborn seatbelt guides removing the trim wasn't nearly as bad as everyone has made it out to be all these years. A lot to do for two Strut tower bolts I suppose but all these years (12?) of hearing about the horrors of removing the trim to get to the strut towers... that was...

well they came off... finally

where does the screw driver go? https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/KPT-fLFLZFdIbg23jvickqc-fk6FBHtbkUXpQ5545oE?feat=directlink

Okay, I'm probably missing something pretty obvious... So I'll ask. how do you get get the rear Strut tower cover off on the Wagon? I've removed the two #2 philips screws, but the black plastic belt guide doesn't budge and I don't seen any visible clips/screws or tricks to remove it. Pushing...

if you find some extra front doors in the wrong color for you let me know. Heck I'll take a driver's side in pink even...

I should have been a bit more clear on that, don't remove the passenger side output flange or you'll dump a good deal more of the tranny fluid.

taking the drive side output flange out was helpful for me as was removing the three bolts holding the driver's side rear motor/tranny bracket to the transmission. removal and installation was done with two people, me on the ground and my brother up top, i couldn't imagine trying to use a jack...

True, Lew's did look good. If it would make a difference on mine i'd spray it up in a second, but there are other 'areas' that will be a problem far sooner than the hood/bumper. Haven't made it back yet...
