My new 2 liter AAZ TD in the 1981 Caddy, is working fine, but I forgot the injectors in my rebuild and just used a set that was laying around. In the past, I remember an ad for matched "blueprinted" injectors, which would seem like a good match for my Giles pump. Does anyone still offer such a thing?

 

Bump. Anyone ?

 

Sorry I can't help you, but I do have an 82 caddy that I love. I just went trough a tank of fuel with the gps and figured up to be right at 43 MPG. Have you got on www.vwvortex.com . There is a lot of info in the forums there.

 

I would really like to learn more about these little cars so if you all wouldnt mind sharing it would be great.

 

ANYONE have this information?

 

GTIRHD might have an idea where to find something like that , He will probably chime in tomorrow if he knows.

 

Sorry I just checked back on this thread. I dont really know what kind of info you are looking for, but I'll put some stuff out there. I believe mine has a 1.6L NDI diesel. They are very slow to the go but will get you there cheaper. They are pretty reliable. My first one was a 4door rabbit that had about 350,000 on it when I sold it. The truck I have now has around 200,000 on it. they crank up usually within 1 second unless it is cold. Then it might take a couple. the only real problem I have had is that the vacuum pump needs rebuilt every once in a while which is around $25.00. And the motor mounts can go bad. It hardly uses any oil and rattles like it is going to fall apart. Like I said above I average around 43MPG. I have a 15 gallon tank and I fill up Once a week putting about 8 gallons in it, which keeps my fuel bill under $30. It is a very simple design and the only truck I know of that is front wheel drive. I pull small trailers with it, and the bed is full length just not full width. My air will freeze me out and the heater will burn me out. Sorry if I rambled just typed as it came to mind. If you want to know anything else just let me know.

You'll find that we VW fanatics will talk at length about our rides at the drop of a hat.

 

i was looking at new injectors at work ( at VW ) and i think im just gonna buy new nozzles when i do my swap but i was looking at a set from a company from cali but i cannot remember the name

 

Maybe our resident VW moderator can answer this. Oh Tye, come out come out wherever you are.
