Obd1-obd2 cam trigger wheel differences?? Help vr6

Recommended Posts

Right well done a Google search and come up with images indicating the that the late mk3 obd2

Cam trigger wheel is that of the later style quick start type

Stupid me sold my 12v so can't double check

Is there anyone here with a late obd2 engine in bits to confirm?

Also I'm doubtful about it as it would cause problems for those doing the obd2 conversions on there obd1 cars

I have had it confirmed in the states but need to know for certain for our uk cars

Rang vw and they said it was the old style single magnet type

Well I have been to the guy who bought my engine and I can also confirm the ecu need the single point for cam position

Ffs front end off

Can the cam sprocket side cover come off without taking off the rocker cover?

probably easiest to take the rocker cover off anyway, that way everything is easily accessible. Shouldn't take more than an hour to get the manifold and other bits off though.

It's just the thought of having to take off the front end again

Just filled it up with g12++

Guess will have to as got time off after Christmas

i didn't take the front end of mine - the manifold bolts are easiest with an allen key (plus some cloth to protect the slam panel paint) and the rest is pretty straightforward. You don't need to drain the coolant, if i've understood your comment correctly. The hardest part is actually undoing the sprocket bolt!

Yep, only the American OBD2.5 12Vs used that....and a plastic intake like the 24V's.

 

Yep front end off to get the manifold bolts out, then rocker off, then side cover off. It's an arse of an engine I'm afraid.

 

As I said in the other threads, you will need to modify the exhaust cam on your AUE to take that 12V cam trigger wheel, and then modify the side cover to take the sensor. It's potentially a lot of work.

Hassan ive got the 24v AUE so front end off

I know kev guess Ive got no other option

I have tried to kid myself there is an easyer way

I will have a solution just need to get all the parts then try it

Suck it and see

When I get it to work as it should I'm sure someone will be thankful for making it very easy for them
