• The TDIClub classifieds section is a heavily trafficked section of the forum that encompasses want-to-buy (WTB) and for-sale (FS) threads for the entire world. Due to the demanding nature and fast pace of this section, it is imperative that you know and understand the rules. It is also important to remember that this is the only parts classifieds section.

    Cross-posting and posting classifieds in the regional sections (except the dedicated thread in Ontario) is not permitted.

    Multiple items should be sold in one thread. Make sure to provide a description for all items in your post along with pictures and prices. If you start multiple threads with individual items, they will be locked or combined at the discretion of the moderators.

    Here is a quick outline of the classifieds section rules. If you don't follow these rules, you subject yourself to thread deletion, thread combination, infractions, or posting privilege revocation.

    Thread titles:
    • Put FS or WTB in your thread title. This will let other users know if you are selling or buying.
    • Briefly describe what you are selling. Thread titles have limited space. Be as descriptive, yet succinct, as possible.
    • Put your location in the title.
    • If space allows, put your price in the title

    Title example (single item): "FS: 2004 Mk4/BEW cylinder head - Portland, OR - $500"
    Title example (multiple items): "FS: MK6 fog lights, front bumper, headlights, grill - Detroit, MI"
    Title example (car part-out): "FS: Mk3 Jetta parting out engine & interior - Dallas, TX"

    Thread text descriptions and pictures:
    • All for-sale threads must include pictures of the items that you are selling. One picture is sufficient, but multiple pictures with different angles will help buyers. A picture is worth a thousand words. If you don't know how to post pictures on TDIClub, see this thread: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=286691
    • All for-sale threads must include a description. We don't charge per-word, so be as descriptive as possible. The more information you can provide, the easier it will be for buyers.
    • All for-sale threads must include a price. Auctions and bidding are not allowed. If you want to auction something off, use eBay.
    No picture, no price, NO SALE!

    Thread maintenance/updates/bumps:
    • When you sell something, update your thread with "SOLD!" Moderators will close the thread and update the title.
    • If you have multiple items for sale, update your thread as each item has been sold. When everything has been sold, updated the thread with "ALL ITEMS SOLD!" Moderators will close the thread and update the title when all items have been sold.
    • If you bump your thread, please delete old bumps by clicking on EDIT and then deleting the old bump. This will reduce clutter in your thread and make it easier to read. It also makes you look less desperate.
    • If you drop your price, please update your first post in addition to posting the new price. If you would like the thread title changed, click on the report post icon and let a moderator know what you would like the title changed to.

    Moderator intervention and infraction points:
    Moderators will be monitoring the classifieds section. If a moderator determines that you have not been following the rules listed above, corrections will be made and infraction points will be assessed to your account.

    What is an infraction point? Simple - it's a system of keeping track of user behavior. A moderator can assign a point value based on the severity of the infraction, as well as an expiration date on the points assessed. If you accumulate a certain number of points, the system will auto-ban you for a predefined amount of time. The more points you accumulate, the longer your ban period will be.

    One example of points is as follows: multiple threads will be combined into a single thread, with the number of infraction points assessed corresponding to the number of threads merged. If we merge four threads into one, then you will be assessed four points that expire in 30 days. When you reach five points, the system will auto-ban you for one day.*

    *This is an example based on the current infraction system structure. We reserve the right to modify the infraction system at any time without notice or updates to this announcement.

    Thank you for your cooperation, and good luck with your sales and searches! :)

This has been sold and I believe it to be going to an interesting project.



ALH Engine
Chevrolet adapter kit with flywheel and starter
M-TDI injector pump
Some kind of weld up engine mount kit

Pictures of everything included below.


I have an ALH engine that my father bought for a TDI swap he wanted to do eight or ten years ago. It sat in a crate, taped up as shown in the pictures, in his shop until he died six years ago and I hauled it to my shop where it sat until several weeks ago when I had a mind to put it in my TR7. I realize now that this kind of wrenching is no longer something that relaxes me.

I do not know much about this engine. I know that it rotates freely and that it has compression. The blades on the turbocharger are seized.

I realize I am a new member here though I have been lurking a while during the honeymoon planning phase of this project. I will answer whatever questions I can. I am located in Chapin, South Carolina (~20 miles west of Columbia) and I prefer to deal in person with cash after a buyer has been able to see everything firsthand.

Thank you - I may have sold the transmission, axles and flywheel items. I had listed it on Craigslist last week and didn't think to pull the ad down until this morning when someone texted me about purchasing it. Assuming they do follow through with the purchase, I will update this thread.

Seems like a good buy for someone. There is an ID tag on the side of the Injection Pump. Might be worth snapping a photo and posting it. A savvy buyer would want to know these details.

Thank you for that information. I'll be out at my shop tomorrow and can add that picture to this thread then.

Well at least you’re getting some kind of interest. I’m curious about the m-tdi pump. In the past I’ve read about folks going that route. I’ve had several ALHs and they’ve all been great little motors.

So the buyer took the transmission details home and I've updated the original post to reflect that.

I looked for an ID tag on the side of the injector pump and I did not see anything. I saw some kind of data etched/cast into the casing is that what I should be looking for? I took a picture for reference but I won't be able to upload it until I get back to my PC tomorrow.

I said tag but etching, as you've stated, is a more apt description. Flat flange area maybe 30mm x 20mm T.

I see where the data would be but didn't realize the picture was too washed out to actually read it. I'll see about getting a better one tomorrow now that I know what I'm looking for.

The 50's car in the background is my 55 Chevy Two Door. Another car I've had for 20+ years.

I was able to get a better picture of the etching data on the side of the injector pump yesterday:

Thank you for your questions.

I am not willing to sell the injection pump separately at this time.

The SBC kit makes the rear of the TDI engine 'look' like an early two piece rear main seal 90 degree GM corporate bellhousing pattern. So just about any transmission that was bolted up to a Chevrolet V8 or 4.3 liter V6 prior to 2002 and some later year 4L60Es though I do not recall which applications are directly compatible versus the ones that need a spacer. My father intended to put a flexplate on it for use with a 700r4 automatic transmission. The flywheel that I have put on it is meant for use with a normal push style clutch/pressure plate setup that I was going to use with a T5 manual transmission.

Nice. Would you be willing to ship? I know you mentioned that you prefer the potential buyer to inspect and pick up, but SC is a bit of a ways from MI lol. If not, I’ll see if I can get some days off arranged at work. I do have a commercial address that can be shipped to if that makes it easier as well. This just put a spark of hope back into my dead chevette project!

I am not willing to ship it at this time though if you want to arrange a pickup and transport through a uship type broker, I do have a tractor that can load everything onto a trailer or into a truck.

I'll look into that. I have 0 experience shipping large items myself so I'm not even sure how it would work arranging something like that. I'll check on that and also see what my work schedule looks like. I may be able to grab a couple days off and make a mini vacation out of it too lol

Thank you for everyone's interest in the engine, it has been sold. I edited my original post to reflect that but am also posting a reply here in case the mods would like to close the thread.
