Need rear springs + axle for Mk2 GTD!

[Mk1_Citi_Golf]

Hello all!! Be patient... I'm a newby! I've got a 1990 Mk 2 GTD wiv a 1.9 Tdi under the bonnet Diesel I hear you groan!!). Need a few things.. Complete set of rear springs (think they are the same as carby petrol and not the lower GTi springs). Could also do with a Mk2 Gti disk braked back axle assy, oh and a speaker cover for the drivers door.. some heavy footed oaf (me) broke the last one! Thanks!

Turbo Diesel Mk2 continued!!

Back again.
Ok, what ya want to know.. In the uk the Mk 2 diesel was common place. VW then introduced the 1600 td in 86 or 87 I think (same basic engine as the Transporter diesels). Those who know more please speak up! This Td was good but lacked initial power, and suffered from turbo lag. In 1990, the 'GTD' was born. Same engine, water cooled and wastegated slightly smaller turbo but with the addition of an intercooler mounted above the gearbox. This made them go quite well once warm. (You still needed to keep the revs up to keep them moving but I managed to regularly acheive 180kph on an engine that had done 300000kms +!).
Some had power steering and a rev counter. All had the double headlights. None ever had Gti suspension but hell do they need it!
Ok. Your turn! would someone just give me a quick description of how to put photos on here! Ta!

that's awesome, wish we had a large range of older VW's here

would snapped up a mk1 Caddy and a Lupo GTI ages ago

[GoLfMan]

so have you brought the GTD down under???

[evorobin]

You could try Aydon as he had a fixed height kit off me and only wanted the dampers.

Thanks. Will do!

[Mk1_Citi_Golf]

Yup, just going thru it now ready to get it registered in a few weeks. Not sure what they'll make of the diesel engine though!

[gldgti]

hey mate,

you have an actual TDI under there (as in DIRECT injection???) m-tdi or a mk3 loom in there?

anyhow, i have a bunch of spare mk2/3 suspension bits. got some lowered spirngs if you need. also have a standard mk3 CL rear axel, stub axels not included.

but im in NSW

[Stiggy_21]

thats a small bumper, i thought post 1990's were big bumpers?
did you have a conversion or was this standard for the GTD?

great looking cars!

[gldgti]

engine looks like some aaz bits and some 1z bits.... manifold is TDI but injector pump is AAZ looks like, not the electronic TDI pump. i would guess aaz.

I reckon it was a 1.6TD and he swopped out the 1.9 engine and earlier mechanical pump.

Good to see some poms bringing cars with them instead of getting here and realizing its all too late.

Should have brought the rocco tho as well.

Hey... you fellas are all good at this. Yup, it's an early 1z Tdi bought on Ebay Uk, the block has all the same mounting points as the old 1.6 so bolted straight in (1.6 clutch on it's limit though!!), and yes it's an old mechanical pump of a 1.9 td. I took a chance that it might work and it did. The Tdi has loads of torque but seems to run out at the top end. I still have the turbo off the old 1.6.. Nearly twice the size of the one on the Tdi. I know if I fit it I'll loose the bottom end grunt but would like to see if it gives me more 'scope' to play with the top end revs! I've got to get it over the pit yet... Friday!!

As for the small and big bumpers, I think (tell me if I'm wrong) that UK cars were small bumper up to 1990 (mine) then big bumpers came in 1991.

Scirocco.... Yeah, I know that should have come to, but so should a lot of things. It was bad enough gettin the GTD out here... They all thought I was a stubby short of a 6 pack in the UK!

Thanks for the parts offer's. I'll let you know how it goes over the pit on friday!
