yea i wanted something a little more interesting than the plastic box, so i made up this. drilled and tapped the manifold and this plate attaches. i know theres no performance gains or anything. thats not what i was going for. just a fun new look.

i've got a build thread on the 152 http://www.the152.com/modules.php?na...&p=74776#74776

Does anyone know the part number for, or where to find, the diesel emblem on the grille?

[Levi20AE]

Here is my 1.6NA with a k26. It's about to. Be replaced by an AAZ since its got some serious piston slap, I'll probably rebuild.

[stemiched89]

mind telling me what u platted your parts with? looks gold, but i always assumed gold platting would be too expensive to be feasible, but i am often times miss led
zinc, or polished copper maybe?

[01]

Looks like copper.

[Levi20AE]

Yeah, it's copper plating.

[stemiched89]

do u have to keep it polished or is there a clear coat over it? doesnt copper tarnish quick to a green?

[nolan in blaine]

so i see the jegs one, but is there another vw that people are getting the closed system radiators from? having the bottle gone really seams to clean up the bay.

[stemiched89]

nolan: early mk1s came with a radiator with built in expansion tank, not needing an external


heres one on summit http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PLI-431260/?rtype=10

should be able to find elsewhere for cheaper, sure someone will chime in.

often times for sale on these fs forums, i have picked up a few on here in the past

[stemiched89]

heres another on black forest

Only problem with the ones with the integrated filler is that they have less cooling surface area, but if that's not a concern then it might not be an issue.

[rollercoasterracer]

Nothing special, but here's the daily ('79 Rabbit with a 1.6D/5spd)







Haven't put the timing belt cover back on yet... along with a lot of other things I need to do haha

The Corrado's ALH swap will be much nicer I'll post those once it gets a little farther in progress.

[Dub_Monster]

Bump Need some insperation

[russianfreak]

mine with its new addition, aluminum rad and slin fan.

[veector]

Am I the only one who thinks you guys are nuts for running without a timing belt cover?

[karcher]

they either cant read, dont care, or can't understand the risk.

[veector]

prob the last one mostly, oh well, smashed valves for all!

My bay is stock 1.6D Hydro motor goodness, with lots of soot and grime. Oh and a timing belt cover

Timing belt cover FTW.

Nope, I'm with you. On a Mk 1, that's just suicide, enless you aren't going to drive it.

I drove with no timing cover for years. thousands of miles. only problem I ever had was dropping a washer in there.

[HSolo]

Back to the top for the mk1 thread with the most awesome.

IMO

Personally the most interesting/exciting bit of the idi diesels is the ip. I would love to see more of the detailed ve pumps. The copper plating was uber cool. Anyone else with a plated polished and powder coated pumps?
