Kevin, you already know I'll be getting Jonny's wrecked 760 Turbodiesel so I don't want to do a +T to my N/A.
I just did a compression test on my D24 the other day. Number three cylinder was at 350 psi and the others were at a soild 400 psi. Im burring a lot of oil and seeing a lot of blue smoke when driving. When running B99 (biodiesel) the exhaust smells more like burring motor oil.

Those compression numbers are pretty solid actually, but that doesn't tell you much about the condition of the oil rings. I had a Rabbit diesel with good compression but bad oil control rings that burned oil like crazy and smoked blue but ran great. Sounds like you have a similar situation.

Good thing you are moving to a TD. That is the way to go.

What are you going to do with the 240?

I really like my D24 N/A. I never drove a D24T so that might change. A lot people think D24s are slow but there really fun to drive.

Not sure what I want to do at the moment. I thinking of putting the D24T in a nice 1986+ 245. Or I will put it in my 84.5 264 diesel that has the D24 N/A already. I'm really overwhelmed in projects right now, I really want to start my B21FT project that will be going in the 77 wagon.


Here is a 245 with a D24T that was for sale a while back not sure if it sold already. This is the look I'm going for.

This car was at the IPD garage sale two years ago in Portland Oregon. A year later the guy that had it on CL for 4K maybe more not 100% sure. He says it's imported from Germany, from the E-codes headlights and turn signals it might be. There are a few youtube videos of this thing the guy made.

That white wagon is now up near me, in Bothell WA. I am supposed to be timing the injection pump for the guy who owns it sometime soon. It is a 1984 German-import car, which is why it has the later-style front end that we didn't get until 1986 in the US. Also why it has headlight wipers, side blinkers in the fenders, leveling shocks in the rear end, etc. The guy got it as a TD. I will be interested to see what it looks like in person when I do the work on it.

I think I speak for everyone on the site when I say "Please, take some pictures of it"!

It is in my experience that the temerature sensors fail, and it seems that every 1984 D24 I have owned or serviced had this issue. I think they must've gotten a bad batch for a period of time or something. The guage would be very sensitive and would run close to the top of the gauge. You can try swapping the gauge sender with the glow plug sender in the back of the head and see if it helps. It may simply be the sending unit. I would try that first if it were me given my past experience. Its worth a try anyhow!
