300 tdi engine swap

<< < (2/3) > >>

barmiebrumie:
Well wish me luck as I'm going to see if I can get the blown engine out over the wekend & swap some bits over ready to put the new  one in  [-o<

muddyjames:
I had a cable kickdown.

it is really easy to swap the bits over if it is cable. just remove the bolt from the throttle cable linkage that goes onto the engine, keep a note of the order of the parts are in and put onto new engine.

But I really wouldnt bother with the kick down. As I said befre, it drives SO much better without it. If you need kickdown just pull the gear lever back a gear. does the same thing.

Hi again,
              Got the engine in & all bolted up over the weekend  :clap:, only problem I have now is the wiring being different plugs  :?, plan is to just get the stop solenoid to work off the ignition but haven't got a clue about electronics, no fuel getting through  :evil: will fire up & run on easystart.

Any help will be appreciated


Thanks in advance

With the non EDC 300 TDi you can adjust how "agressive" the kickdown is, because there are 4 positions for the cable to connect to the operating "horn".

On my sister's I moved it out to the last one and adjuysted the cable acordingly, now it kicks down much later.  Of course it has been tweaked so it's got more grunt when solo and with the 'van on you just have to stamp on the pedla to make it go anyway.

Og course, you'll remember how well it goes won't you ;)

I took off the original wiring loom and fitted mine back on so the plugs all match up.

As for the ignitio. Try running a cable direct from the battery to stop solonoid. Thats how mine started. I now have a switch in the car to control the stop solonoid. Its great when you forget something in the house. Take the key out and the engine carries on running. saves on fuel! legal too though! passed 2 mots like it now. good security device as well.
