top entry to front entry on classic.
Hi all, my mum owns a 95 classic auto saloon. Since its been owned its gone through 3 td04 top entry as they all been bought but as second hand. So last for about 15,000 miles then oil seals go. Because its an auto the box needs an ecu to run etc. So i cant buy a td05 new ecu and have it mapped as my gearbox then wont change gear. :) Been scooting around and i can pick up a recon front entry td04 for about 190 plus vat. But mines top entry. What work is needed to convert top entry to front entry. Obvs you need:
Inlet rises, Airbox from face lift etc Pipework Does the P/S pump need to be moved, and does the water expansion bottle need to be removed or is this all i have to do? :confused::confused::confused: Any help appreciated :luxhello: Regards Luke |
Just remove the compresssor housing from your old one, and replace it on the new one.
Thats if you are doing TD04 to TD04. |

The only thing you will notice is the POWER light will flash up 16 times on start up(different start up software on the oe 3b/4b ecus),but this is nothing to worry about as the car will drive as normal once on the move ,and with a few supporting mods should see you around the 250 -260 bhp and a big improvement in mid range torque that your 220 ps td04 is providing. |
I want to achive this aswell i have a td05 top entry but just purchesed a vf22 wich i wanted fitted for more power but is a front entry how would i convert this sorry for hijacking the thread
|
just fit a 90° bend mate works a treat on vf's
