2.0TD into 1987 VW Quantum Syncro Wagon

[Nevadan]

Remaining items:
Finish the cooling system hose routing.
Secure the radiator.
Verify the fans come on at the correct time/temperature.
Secure the oil cooler and install hoses.

And the one thing I haven't figured out yet: CONNECT THE THROTTLE CABLE. As the engine bay has become more crowded I'm not sure how I'm going to do this. On these 2.0 and 2.4 engines the IP requires the throttle pull form the front and my short cable pulls from the back, from the firewall. I've scavenged a few junkyard cables and pulleys but am not sure how it's going to work. I think I need to find the throttle connection off a 2.4. I'm going to look at my friend's 2.4 tomorrow and see if it will work.

Then....
Install the grill
And see how the gearing works with the diesel instead of the gas.
Can't wait!!


Another unknown is how to get the tachometer to work. The original tach must have been wired to something in the distributor. I don't think there's a "W" terminal on the distributor I took off the Audi 200.
