It’s a shame I never got the mtdi back on the rollers in its outgoing form as it was very torquey compared to the dynoed pump of that time at a shitty and pathetic 113bhp and the same torque as a 102 Tdi.

I’m told the Sachs VR6 clutch pressure plate can’t be uprated as it’s at the max already for the size but I’m having an organic lining and slightly bigger too. I can safely add 2mm to the OD to make it a 230mm and the inside will take another 5-6mm. That’s a decent increase and with the better material it should be fairly decent. Both the fly and pressure plate will take the extra material as, like brake discs, they are bigger than the standard linings anyway.

You could fit a paddle type clutch plate. Sachs sell a 228mm 4 paddle but there's a 6 paddle available.
I like the idea of relining. I was advised similar with an SMF setup. Knowing the materials and surface areas, the clutch forces can be calculated easy enough. A twin plate with an SMF could also be fitted.

Relining: works for the commercial industry for trucks and coaches…..: This is my 228mm next to a man sized clutch.

Cluster, surround and loom.
Throttle pedal and loom.
MAF sensor.
Tdi airbox lid to take MAF.

ECU + Acceptable (pref 180 bhp) starter map.
Connect crank sensor and needle lift already fitted.
Volvo D5252T pump, bracket and tdi tensioner+guide setup.
There’s bound to be more I’ve either forgotten or don’t know about.

The 02G gearbox should be ready to collect Thursday and the clutch is ready to pick up now. The gearbox is the early type so it’s got that shitty cable plunger pin thingy in it but I’ve had the rebuilder delete that by making a small tweak inside the box. Literally a 2 minute job with a grinder. It’s having all new bearings and synchros as necessary. Should last longer than all the previous shitty 02b’s that seem to be made from wednesleydale.
The 02g gearbox mount is here and I’ve ordered the clutch pipe and clip. Concentric slave landed a few days ago.
Starter motor seems to bolt up fine so I should be able to reuse that.

The loom and conversion is pretty simple and like the non Tdi looms it’s glaringly obvious what plugs into what. There’s just some confusion surrounding the Volvo pump as a few people have said I may need to re pin the plug as they wire slightly differently. I’ll need to get hold of some diagrams I think.
