Installation & Conversion Notes

• Drivetrain Fluids: Always fully drain any remaining transit oils before final installation. Refill the transmission with high-quality manual gearbox oil and fill the engine crankcase exclusively with high-grade diesel motor oil meeting strict VW 505.00 / 505.01 specifications to prevent premature camshaft wear.

• Cooling & Fuel Lines: Thoroughly flush your original vehicle's fuel tank and fuel lines to ensure absolutely no gasoline or debris contamination compromises the TDI injection system.

• Preventative Maintenance: While this unit has an exceptionally low 77k miles, rubber timing components age over time. For total peace of mind and long-term security, we highly recommend replacing the timing belt kit, water pump, thermostat, accessory belt, and front/rear crankshaft seals while the engine is out of the vehicle chassis.
