johnbuz Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 Hi Just had my 1999 AFN 1.9 TDI engine drop exhaust valve 3. Damaged head beyond repair, destroyed injector 3 (the one with the sensor) and damaged piston 3. I'm after either a complete engine OR Complete head, injector 3 and a piston. All the bores look OK and the turbo survived - stripped and checked. Can anyone help? RegardsJohn Quote
Saif Rehman Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 This guy has a cylinder head for sale, he may have the other parts you require - try him. Quote
iluvm Posted August 29, 2009 Report Posted August 29, 2009 Hello, Whatever option you take make sure you clean out inlet & exhaust manifolds, EGR & tubes, turbo etc as the bits get absolutely every where. May be stating the obvious but many a dealer doe's not bother to do this leading to further disasters!Hi Just had my 1999 AFN 1.9 TDI engine drop exhaust valve 3.

johnbuz Posted August 29, 2009 Author Report Posted August 29, 2009 Hi Yes I intend to clean everything and back flush the intercooler, having problems finding parts. Found a 1Z engine and possibily an AHU I think a AHU is pretty much the same as a AFN althiugh the AFN has the viarable vane turbo. is the head the same on a 1Z engine, externally looks pretty much the same, I know compression ratio is diff on 1Z so i guess pistons must be dif from AFN ReghardsJohn Quote
zorgman Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 head is deffo the same i just put one on my afn, the part numbers are the same cast into head Quote
big blue Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 could you tell me how long it took to get the head off.I am thinking of replacing the head gasket on mine.thanks. Quote
johnbuz Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Posted September 2, 2009 Hi It took me about 4 hours to remove the head, Access to turbo is not good, I removed the O/S drive shaft and itermediate bearing carrier to gain access. make sure you remove head bolts in the correct sequence to reduce the risk of distorting the head.

johnbuz Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Posted September 2, 2009 head is deffo the same i just put one on my afn, the part numbers are the same cast into head Hi Thanks for that, do you know whether the injectors on the Z1 are the same as the AFN? I have a damaged (destroyed!) injector 3, the tip and pintle are completely mashed, and would need to find another, so if the Z1 uses the same one then Hurray! My guess is not..............

Willie Krashitt Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 Unfortunately not. According to VAG-Cat, AHU and 1Z have injectors with suffix G or J, while AFN have suffix S or T.Higher power engine needs greater fuel flow = bigger injector. George. Quote
johnbuz Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Posted September 4, 2009 I thought that may be the case, I have managed to buy a complete Alhambra AFN engine. So no prizes for gussing what I shall be doing this w/e! Quote
