I appreciate it's a van but I would of loved to of modified an abl but their getting so scarce so I'm thinking the Tdi spares are more about. I can do the mechanical stuff easy enough and I got a bit of electronic knowledge but not vast. How much of a bitch is it to do?

I've still got all my notes and printed guides, which I read and almost memorised before doing mine.
If you're breaking the car yourself it's easier...
There's a few of us on here that have done the conversion, so plenty of help if you get stuck! [emoji106]
And I reckon you're only just down the road from me if you get truly stuck... [emoji6]

Afternoon you lovely lot. I actually got round to tinkering with the van today and it runs just! I still have to sort out the throttle pump spindle as its pissing out but wondering if that was one of the causes it running like a bag of shite. Also gotta do the timing lift as reg has instructed me too. Just wanted to hear life before I did anything I do have a video but I cant upload it on here.
