1975 1.8 EC L-Jet motor. What pieces of tin am I missing from the front of this engine?
And does anyone know where I can source them?    Second question is about this piece on the wire to the CHT sensor. Is it simply a connector, or is it a resistor of some kind. It has a VW logo on it and the number 440, and a 12 inside the recessed circle.   |

There is a separate piece of tin that goes in front of the alternator. It's there so you don't have to take the whole front tin piece off if you replace the alt.
The other piece you are missing was cut out to fit an air conditioning compressor. This was done at the dealer when AC was installed. The proper fix for it would be to replace the front tin piece with one that hasn't been cut. D-jet tin and L-jet tin are the same, especially for these parts. (The 2.0 over-cylinder tin has different spark plug hole locations; the tins under the engine are different for 70-72 versus 73-74 versus 75-76, and so on, but these particular ones didn't change at all.) The CHT connector is just a connector. It's a piece of plastic to hold the male and female spade lugs together without letting them short to ground on the engine tin or any other metal nearby. The resistor, when present, is a separate piece with another box connector on it. --DD |
