Hi,
I live in Bellingham Washington and have built a TDI-powered Vanagon Syncro Westfalia. I used an AHU from a 98 Jetta, to which I fitted PP764 nozzles and an electronic boost controller of my own design. I also modified the transaxle with gear ratios more compatible with the TDi's torque/speed characteristics. Of my seven cars, the Syncro is definitely my favorite.
I am very much into DIY - I gain great satisfaction from learning something new.
I am currenly focused on reviving a 98 Jetta AHU that has not been run for 6 years. It will barely idle and produces copious quantities of white smoke. The lone fault code is: 01268 Quantity Adjuster (N 146) 18-00 Upper Limit. I suspect the quantity adjuster has been fouled by corrosion products and fuel varnish. I'm looking at this situation as a perfect opportunity to learn how to rebuild a Bosch VE injection pump.
My question is: does anyone know of a good instruction set for rebuilding a TDI pump? I don't need spoon-feeding, but it would be nice to have a heads-up for component positions that need to be marked for reassembly and sequences that are critical to success.
Thanks for your help!
P.S. I have vagcom and am more than happy to help anyone in the area with VW/Audi CAN bus work.
