    So, I’m a new member I was wondering if anyone can help me….I’m having some issues with my 2012 1.6 tdi (CAYE). Injector 1 was leaking from the 25mm nut under the electrical connector (split o ring) I replaced this and didn’t realise how temperamental they can be and in doing so apparently...

    1981 VW Rabbit Pickup (Caddy) 1.6 diesel NA I recently took an extended highway trip with the truck and I noticed at my destination that the engine sounded much louder in the mid RPM range. Can't tell you what range since these things rarely have a tach. Performance is normal just sounds...

    Needs to be cleaned and restored but with a little TLC has many more years to go. Had some fuel contamination issues with my caddy and had a spare clean tank so overhauled the entire fuel system up to the filter to be safe. Don't want the trouble of cleaning and storing so listing here. These...

    Rust around the strut towers has me reluctant. This thing has low miles and the price is right. Attaching a photo.

    Selling my super clean 1981 pickup. It's mechanically sound, runs, and drives great. Minimal upgrades/ swaps but overall this truck has gone unmolested. I have recipes for all the work that has been performed, all of it was done at Trafton's Auto here in Portland OR. I am asking for 10k OBO. I...

    Ok so I have a 1981 Rabbit Truck, 1.6D and I cannot get the temperature gauge to work. I have done pretty much every suggestion. I replaced the sensor, I pulled the cluster and did the 9V battery check and the gauge itself moves when I give it power. I changed the 10V regulator (which got the...

    Hello! I am looking for a solution to plug the coolant line in the head on my caddy 1.8 k-jet. I am replacing the CIS system with an weber, and the new intake from Misab doesnt have the coolant line. I have been searching for an answer without finding a good solution. Does anyone have any...

    Are there any special markings on the cylinder head that help identify the head being for a 1.6 Diesel caddy pickup ? I actually have a cylinder head laying around. Not sure if it belongs to the block next to it that is for a 1.6 diesel according to the markings. I have multiple caddys (Gas and...

    This truck is part of an estate sale... I helped sort out a couple of things before the owner put it up for sale. If it were mine, there are certainly a couple of things I would change (intercooler piping, change to vented front discs, etc), but this is Definitely a choice truck to buy, and...

    Hi All, Long time VW owner, first time poster. I bought a mk1 caddy with a VR6 engine swap, but the engines sit so low. I would like to lower my caddy more, is there any way to raise the engine or modify in a way that allows a low ride height? Thanks

    Hello all, I figured it was time to get all my pictures and thoughts in one place. i'd like to think this will be a well though out build thread with regular updates but i don't think that's likely to happen. I'll try to bring everyone up to speed as casually as possible. in 2018-19 i sold my...

    Right, I was wiring in a switched relay for the reverse camera in a 2004 caddy and managed to trip the switched live fuse in the piggy back. Changed the fuse and still didn't work, checked the fuse in back of HU and it is fine. So started pulling fuses out on the panel to try and find of any...

    I have a 1982 VW Rabbit truck and I’m looking for reliable websites to find parts for it. I need a driver side (LHD) window and door mirror, Tail lights, front blinker lights, and front bumper. Also the bed of the truck on the left side above the wheel where the suspension is attached too is...

    My first post here! I have a 1982 VW Caddy pickup that I've had about 15 years and she's treated me very well. Other than oil changes, I've done nothing for the last 3 years and it's run great. Last year, upon starting it up, I would briefly hear a sound similar to a "shaking slinky" sound...
