VAG 1.9 TDi into a RWD transit

[Luke]

as long as its not pressure plate to strong for the smaller engine and moving the crankshaft on its thrust washer /bearing caps (excessive end float)causing flywheel to rub somewhere

hope not

Didn't mean to chuck a spanner in the works

it's ok - it's not that, the noise was there when even a light amount of pressure was applied to the clutch if it was the crank moving it would only be apparent when the clutch was fully depressed

still not 100% sure what it was tho

[andz327]

Clutch brand new?

[Luke]

not brand new - good 2nd hand - had it off since the noise - no signs of wear and looks mint - same as clutch release bearing
also no judder when setting off either

[Luke]

another problem now broken down all ready bloody VW's

drove it out started up ok but the engine was juddering - running very rough so i popped the bonnet to have a look and it just cut out and wouldnt restart - i think its a fuel issue might be the inline pump i fitted (as thats thew only non vw part ) gonna see if its better bypassed

Sorry couldn't resist

haha

anyway sorted it* - wasn't VW's fault it was mine i'd trapped the fuel feed hose on top of the tank between the tank and the chassis - freed it off and it's a million times better than before

waaaaaay faster than any turbo Di i've ever had almost tempted to run it at north weald

* when i say sorted i still think ive got an issue with the in line pump when i stop run the pump then set off its spot on for a half mile, then seems to slow up - i pulled over stopped the engine ran the pump - you can hear it slow down when its built up pressure then when i set off its back to speedy Gonzalez

If you put bit of pressure on your gear stick as if to put into gear but not quite then do the action that makes the noise, is the noise different when you try this??

i'll try but i dont think it will be

[Luke]

just been out in it again done my 1st overtake

i need to get some sound deadening down tho the noise is too much

[andz327]

I had an o6 1.9 pump duse caddy and even with only 22000mls it was a noisy engine so use plenty sound deadening, oh and mind use the right pd engine oil as they're very fussy on their lube, (you get a good price out of tps proper stuff) not to mention the injectors probs inside the cam cover,,,,,,,oops I'm off on another one again sorry man, the caddy was an £11000 nightmare engine wise,,,,,,,hahaha
