[Vwdiesel] Injector testing/new nozzles

[H . Hagar.]

IMHO    any injector body and or nozzle will work just fine.   If you adjust
breaking pressure .

1977 to 1984    turbo or NA no problemo.     1.5 L NA here has a SHORT spring
  1.6 NA or turbo has a LONG spring   I shall post lenght later.

Do not mix up the two types  as far as parts are conserned.   In the engine ?
no problemo.    All it is  ---  is a poppet valve.    Engines do not care.
The barrels I have   are marked 130 bar  NA   and 1 xx for the turbo ( a bit higher)(155bar?)

The BOSCH   injector used in Rabbits is one fine design and quality steel.
A real simple and fun to refurbish. injector IMHO.

Pump   valves are check valves ---and will work with turbo or NA  IMHO.

NO 20 year old  Rabbit in British Columbia runs better starts better gives better mileage
than  Bunny Bondo ----    78 miles on a gallon Imp     and smooth. She is a darling.
1984 Rabbit 1.6 L  Turbo  using 1.5L NA Nozzles.    I was going to sell the engine to
Shawn Wright for 600 dollars Can.   I did NOT want a turbo.  (now I do)
A turbo that works for 20 years ?  (Garrett)  with no maintenance ?  NOW to me
that is impressive.   300 000 Km  app (good old yankee know how?)

My nozzles came from BOW-WOW   about 15 dollars each. Can.

Like Loren told me long time ago   get NEW nozzles  and believe me he knew what
he was talking about  --------   about  140 dollars for two Rabbits   worth every
penny. --or haypenny for Mark Shepherd and the UK gang.

Hagar..

PS :  So how much credit goes to Loren and this site ?   a lot    a big lot .
thank you fellas  you know who you are.    Smarts and information goes a long way.
Why is the Rabbit so dear to me ?   the pump    DA pump    it is like
a Rubiks qube   ---master it and you have a happy Rabbit.
Did I do the CUBE ?    yes   took me about 3 month.  Remember solving and 
putting in order is two different things. Those TV kids ? did NOT solve it.
