    TDI Conversion, Satisfaction w/ Motor Mounts

    Whichever mounts you decide, Simply make sure they are hydraulic mounts. I just went to the local shop and looked through catalogs of hydraulic mounts until I found some that suited what I needed, Installed them and had little to no vibration in the cab. I can't say much about the longevity of...

    Tire Plugging

    From my experience working tires for 5+ years, a plug can allow water to weep in, destroying the inner liner not designed for water, then rusting out the steel belts. Where did you buy the original tires from? Discount Tire plugs the tire, then uses a patch on the inside to stop water from...

    Swap Help in NW Indiana

    Read my conversion and get the Bentley. Its fairly straight foward, You can get rid of about 80% of your harness. You really just tap into 4 or 5 wires on the jetta harness. You need to remove your immo first though. Kermatdi did the immo delete and a mild tune together and didn't charge me any...

    1999 Jeep cherokee, ALH swap

    So after thinking about it a bit last night, there is no reason to use the vnt15 vane actuator, as its just a labor force, I beleive I can use any vacumn diaphragm just fine, as long as it has the proper stroke. I believe the system works like this. Ecu sends signal to n75 Applies vacumn to...

    1999 Jeep cherokee, ALH swap

    I really don't have the room for a 3 link, the motor is set down between the upper control arms now as it is. I'm going to have to relocate the diaphragm, or lift the jeep 5". But that gets expensive fast.

    1999 Jeep cherokee, ALH swap

    I have little to no experience sorting out suspension geometry, What does a 3 link front consist of? 2 Lowers, One upper in the center, and a sway bar? That seems more problematic with the motor and trans in the way.

    td high idle problem

    Id look at the skinny pedal first, If i'm not mistaken, when the jeep/ahu doesn't see the gas pedal, it goes into a high idle state so you can get to the mechanic. VCDS should tell you all about it.

    1999 Jeep cherokee, ALH swap

    Well, I have the trans out, and i'm going through it over the next few days, I still have the problem of having to relocate the turbo actuator, Has anyone else ran into this problem, and solved it by relocating it?

    1999 Jeep cherokee, ALH swap

    Mark, thanks for the words of encouragement, a project of this scale is alot harder to manage then just the physical work. I ordered the transmission rebuild kit so that should be here in the next few days. Then start running test drives again, so far about 15 miles logged on the jeep, so I am...

    Tire slime... bad idea?

    Not trying to promote discount tire, but they offer a certificate for free replacement, If you have any damage where the tire is unsafe to drive on, and the tire is above 2/32 of tread, it gets replaced for the cost of the new certificate, which is essentially 1/6 of the tire price. I can't...

    1999 Jeep cherokee, ALH swap

    I've put probably 15 miles on the jeep, but its popping out of first gear, so i'm going to tear the trans out and apart this weekend. My passenger side upper control arm ended up crushing my diaphrag for the turbo actuator, so i'm going to need to mount that elsewhere with a cable running to the...

    1999 Jeep cherokee, ALH swap

    Yes, I picked up a .75" bronze bushing, that was 1.5" long, and machined enough of it to slip into the back of the vw crank, and catch the complete front of the input shaft.
