Where's the turbo unit on turbo diesel's

[stucbr]

On mk3 Golf's, I know I sound stupid, but is it on/near the manifold the same as it is on petrol cars, Iv'e never had a TD before. What I mean is, the car was advertised as a "turbo" but on the V5 all it says is "GOLF CL DIESEL"....does this mean its not a turbo diesel.


I phoned the ins company and they said that yes it came up as td so why is not on the log book??....I still have my doubts. Because if its not a td I WILL phone the guy back and try and get my money back, as it says in the ad turbo diesel.

The 14 that have looked at this, are probably saying good god if you dont know where the turbo should be tough sh1t. I did do a search before I asked but didnt find what I was looking for, hence asking....I usually search before asking.

Why is no one answering this, I know there are ppl with td's here....thats a nice start to a new forum, as in getting totaly ignored  .....c'mon someone say something!

Probably because you have displayed yourself as an arse for getting the hump, just cos no-one replied.

However, the turbo if anything like my audi engine (which it will be) will be at the back of the engine next to the bulk head, after the manifold.

I'm asking a question because (as I said) Iv'e never had a Golf before never mind diesel, did a search and fcuk all came up......I ask this early this morn, and thought I'd have some answers by now thats all, smart pr1ck

And have you (and others) here never had a car that you knew fcuk all about, thats the only way I knew how to write it. I didnt think It sounded daft, but you (and others) obviously do.

Just how clever ARE you s'posed to ask about things then...

before this gets out of control lets take a breather and all relax a touch..

first of.. stucbr - welcome to the site 

now... I think the reason why your message may not have been answered initially is that the majority of mk3 owners on here have GTi's and not TDi's.... I was one of the people that looked at your post and didn't know the answer myself as I have no experience of them... and I didn't want to confuse you with a misleading reply.

it was also a lovely sunny day today... and people may have been out tinkering with their golf's or watching grand prix's etc.. instead of being stuck in front of a puter.

using a simple search term... "golf mk3 tdi" the first search result returned is this site
http://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/archive/index.php/t-225.html which has lots of jabber on it about GL's and CL's and also mentions TDi engines... just with a skim read of this I gather that there are just the two variants with the same TDi engine.... although this might be wrong.  But at least it is a start in the right direction.

good luck with your quest to find your missing turbo unit and I hope that your future experience isn't as traumatic for you as this one... patience is the key... the best things come to those who wait!

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'll check out your link and see whats what...again thanks for the help..
