Thanks Dave. If it needed shimming, why would it have worked for so long already? Can I service the Bendix, or lube it at all? Cheers! Dave ... right. ... ...
The starter is the vanagon housing and the Jetta guts. Can anyone hazard a guess as to which the Bendix would have come from? The Jetta or the Van? Cheers! ...
I was not sure when you installed it. If it has been working for some time, then you need to have your Bendix gear replaced. Dave ... From: vangon2tdi...
Well, housings don't move, so I would think the Jetta guts would be appropriate. Dave ... From: vangon2tdi <dmiller@...> Subject: [TDI-conversion] Re:...

Sounds easy, but I'll second guess myself. gonna do it today. the motor is out of the truck right now (waiting on Turbo Parts) so its an opportune time to take...
Well I did this, I hope I connected to the correct spot. as I looked down on the backside of the alt, I see an outer ring of wire connections and an inner one....
I assume you have the plug that has two pins and plugs onto the alternator? On that plug (the one that has wires coming out of it) there is very tiny writing...
Not all alternators have a W teriminal; most TDI alternators have a DF terminal instead. ... alternator? On that plug (the one that has wires coming out of it)...
What year? I just looked at the Bentley and it labels pin #2 as the W connection. I looked it up for a MKIII not a MKIV so that might be the difference.Chris...
This Alternator Does not have a "w" marked it is D+ and D- I believe. I had a friend that had the W on his plain as day. so maybe the plastic cover is wrong?...
I think all MK-4 alternators have a DFM terminal which sends a signal to the ECU telling how much load and then there is the idiot light terminal - no more W...

From those pictures, it looks like you cut the green wire and added a wire. Just curious as to why this was done? Did you run a new wire from the cluster to...
Also, when people are doing this are they using a dynamic oil pressure system from a Diesel vehicle as well - seeing how the tach signal is different... David...
... Yes, these can be used to build m-TDI pumps. As far as I can tell these are identical in most respects to 4BT pumps. I've built a few m-TDI pumps from this...

So my buddy spoke with the shop that built the starter and they said that the bendix should be from the vanagon. Does anyone know if the bendix alone is...
sure, bendix drive gears always are removable from the starter shaft. The ring that retains them is a bit 'difficult' sometimes, but doable. ... From:...
