[Vwdiesel] Re:idle 3 cyl and hagar injectors

[greg rich]

Check the fuel return check vavle near the fuel tank, I saw a car that did
this and it was the check valve, it took a long time for the fuel filter to
refill and idle properly (like ten-twenty minutes before the car would idle
normally, but it would drive fine). He replaced the fuel filter, the glow
plugs, compression check etc and it turned out to be a defective check
valve, costs around $40 at the dealer, located in the feed line near the
tank, floor pan near the rear seat, very hard to locate at first (small).

Hi Hagar
The nozzles are different, all the injectors used different nozzles not just
opening pressures, 1.5 diesel had one style, 1.6 solid lifter another type,
1.6 solid turbo diesel, 1.6 hyd lifter, 1.6 td hyd lifter, and the Vanagon
had it own injector. Will it work? Sure, why not? It will run fine but the
pre combustion chamber may be slightly different between each engine,
harmfull I doubt it.Worst case a burned up glow plug, noisy, etc. I have a
box full of injectors and nozzles (some brand new), if you can figure our
part numbers etc we could figure it out.
