It's a 1Z.. Im a Diesel Mechanic, and the easiest way to make the TDi work in the older car is to fit the AAZ mechanical fuel pump. Pump has to run one tooth advanced.Quote:

I'm guessing as you are running advanced that you kept the Aaz internals on the pump.
For anyone buying, you could upgrade the pump with a larger head and TDI camplate for moar powaar.
To be honest, it doesn't need it. The pump is set up reasonably well, with a whisp of smoke under load and 5lt per 100. The power is there when needed.. I think Hamza was a little surprised how well it goes! There is another full set of teardrop alloys and a second gearbox that'll go with it when it sells....Quote:

It will also come with 3 months SA rego.
Price drop. $4600, but that's it. No offers. And it'll be here for a further two weeks. If it does not sell, it'll be relocated with us. :)
If my Mk3 VR6 sells this week I'll jump on this! Very very interested mate, I live and breathe Mk1 diesels and have wanted a turbo diesel for so long, so even being a Mk2 this is perfect
I have a Mk III Tdi with the 1Z (best in country too I say!). I can tell you that pump is not off a 1Z engine. The 1Z is a VE pump with an electrical connection to the ECU. It has no mechanical cables or springs on the top. That said the injector I can see in the #3 position does look like the 1Z injector with the needle lift sensor. Maybe its a 1Z with a different pump???
