All VW models with the dynamic oil pressure board in the speedo needed a tach signal from the engine to the cluster even if they don't have a tach. The tach...
You need an alternator with W terminal (small red wire) for diesel tach to integrate easily, otherwise you need to build an optical sensor. Let me know if you...
here's another universal way to get a tach on a diesel (thanks google). http://www.tinytach.com/tinytach/diesel.php interesting approach, they use a transducer...
... Thanks, Paul. I only needed to know if there is a wire that exists within the harness on Vanagons (or T3's) originally equipped with JX engines. I realize...
Thanks for the responses Karl and justin. Karl I'm the one that was ski bumming it in Montana last year and you got me set up with a propex. Wow things have...
Better to use a different exhaust manifold to raise the turbo for proper drainage. That's the only way I do 'em. Late AAZ exhaust manifold + adaptor to flip...
The tach wire comes out to the back of the alternator where the "W" spade post is. Have you looked? It is the other small wire in the sheath with the blue...
I never quite understood this. If the oil pressure from the pump isn't sufficient to keep oil flowing through the turbo how is the little bit of help from...
The key is that there shouldn't be pressure required for the oil to drain away from the turbo. If there is back pressure in the oil drain the oil will leak...
The Dakota Digital unit referenced will not work with a gas tach without some sort of additional work. Dakota tried to warn me, but I bought it anyway and...
I have an 87 Westy with an automatic mated to an 03 ALH. I am trying to figure out exactly what parts I need to mate the two together. From what I gather I...
Dave, On one of my Vanagons, I have an ABA (inline-4 2.0 gas motor) mated to an autotrans. It required the KEP adapter plate (or suitable substitute), flex ...
Thanks Ben. I spoke with KEP this morning. These are the parts I need: 1. Torque converter 2. KEP Flex plate 3. KEP spacer/ adapter (makes up the distance...
Dave, I knew that to be the case in manual trans but did not think it was needed on auto because the conversion I have looked very similar to a regular flex ...
Today I checked the small red/black wire from the W terminal of my diesel alternator. It does in fact go to pin 9 (green wire) on the dash cluster big white...
... Thank you, Paul. I did look at my alternator and saw that as well. I did not get as far as checking where it goes to the dash. No it's time to work a tach...
The guy who helped with my AAZ left off the hand throttle cable as well. The mount was different with the AAZ block and my JX injection pump. Which pump do...
I just returned from a 8,236 km (5,118 mile) mile trek from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, to Montreal, Quebec, then down through the Northern States and back up...
I have my cruise control working now except for the clutch switch. I'm not sure what the issue is. I have checked the voltage going through the wire from the...

Jeff, You made your point and I think we have heard enough of this now. I can understand your frustration, but we do not need more details about it on this...
I remember a seller on ebay that had brand new oil pans a few months ago. I have not seen them listed lately. Does anyone know how to contact this fella? ...
Doing a 1.6 to 1.9TD conversion. Need the upper timing belt cover 028 109 123E and the plate that it attaches to 028 109 143K. Anybody have these pieces?...
I am connecting the fuel lines to the filter and I don't know where to run the return to the tank. It is an ALH 02 filter set up. The Syncro tank only has...
