VAG 1.9 TDi into a RWD transit

[martynx]

Different issue then;) I'm sure you'll suss it out.

[Luke]

hope so
it's pissed me off a bit i was there thinking just the propshaft and i can go for a drive then pressed the clutch
now its all got to come back out

[Luke]

just dropped the box and i think i have the wrong clutch - bought it as a 2.0 but i think its a 2.5

that would explain why i needed to get the adpaterplate machined down

any VW experts? i wouldnt mind knowing the answer to these q's

are 2.0 and 1.9 tdi cranks the same length?
is the flywheel bolt patten on the 2.5 and the 1.9/2.0 the same?
is the release cylinder the same on the 2.5 gearbox and the 2.0

not really sure how to progress this - i'll see it i can get it swapped for a 2.0 or see if i can fit the 2.5 release cylinder/bearing

[Luke]

not so sure now - looks like i have the correct clutch it's the same part no. as this one

and thats listed as a 2.0

ive only ever done 1 vw 1.9 passat clutch and that was a few years ago

[Luke]

well found out its the same part number for the 2.5 and 2.0 cylinder/release bearing - so that shouldn't be the issue

[Luke]

just had the clutch off can't see anything wrong there's about 10 deg rotation in the duel mass flywheel but i think thats normal

havent took the flywheel off yet - still can't understand why i needed to mill the adapter plate down wondering if it's that flexing as i dont have the sump part to support it

[Luke]

i am now thinking the gearbox i have been supplied might be a bad one

i thought i'd have a closer look at the release bearing - it feels good and smooth - the noise is really loud so i dont think its the problem

what makes me think the box is bad is the pinion nut is missing off the rear flange and there has been a few loose bolts on it as i was installing it

there was a drip of oil from the input shaft (the bellhousing was covered in oil when i split it)

when i removed the release bearing/cylinder and there is no seal behind it - i can't see where one would fit not sure if this is this normal but i can't see how it would seal otherwise

What box are you using Luke Lts have the cyl on the outside.

[Luke]

it's a 2012 6 speed crafter box from a 2.0 Tdi - it's the cable change one

I have a Lt engine and box on the ground that I can take a few measurements if you wish

it's a 2012 6 speed crafter box from a 2.0 Tdi - it's the cable change one

if there the same as sprinter ones the good ones are like chocolate

not sure if they are the same internally but externally they look different

tbh if i got one that worked ok i can't see it having much of a hard life in this - never going to carry much weight of do that many miles

[Guy88]

if you need any info im working on a 2.5tdi 2010 crafter atm

[Luke]

well this is my box (same type as this)
