Where's the turbo unit on turbo diesel's

[Guy]

Thanks GTi.....if only you had said this before the above member replied the way they did, oh well. I honestly didnt realise that is was mostly GTi's, I thought it would quite a mixed bag, sorry  :embarassed:

I would have thought the site name http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk would have given that away?! 

there is bound to be someone along with the right knowledge at some point... stick around and I am sure that someone can help.  might also be worth asking the same question in the 'engine' section?

[Guy]

post your engine code and i will tell you exactly which engine you have...it will be on the sticker in the boot or service book...

see... told you someone would help... help was on the way even before I finished my reply!

ha ha. cos obviously i am wrong. Jesus.

[Guy]

never said that... don't look for conflict please... was trying to reassure a newbie that the site is welcoming.
I am sure that you were offering valid advice... just looking at the thread there was more falling out than anything else. none of us need that.

I'm not after any arguements mate, i'm just straight to the point, like it or not.

Thanks Bone & GTi...I didnt get any books with it  , I saw the turbo behind the cyl head just at the manifold, for a 1.9 though, its quite small.

I'll get my engine code shortly, but what kind of power (hp) will this engine have?, bearing in mind its more/less a 2.0TD, thanks. Having said this, I'd better stick to the proper site from now on. I just thought although it was for GTi's (like I said previous) I thought too it would be a bit of everything, but maybe not though.

Stucbr - you stick around mate - you'll get more help here than anywhere else... you'll soon see that there are some very knowledgeable peeps around here.

Ok thanks, it was rather shaky start though wasnt it, and there was me just asking a question, oh well

Gosh, this is a touchy post isnt it...  Anyway... the turbo charger is at the back near the bulk head on all MK3 golf afaik, like said before.  If you look at your air box and follow the intake pipe back, it will lead you to the entry of the Turbo compressor, so you can see where it is.

If the air box leads directly into the manifold, which then leads to the engine block.. its NOT a turbo.
but the best way is to find the engine code... I would be able to find it and let you know the details then.

Its a perfectly acceptable question, they couldnt hide them better if they tried on some golfs LOL. Hope that helps
