Rebuilding 16v - tech

[Bill.Scarince@tenneco-automotive.com]

Sal,

I can only ans. one of your questions:

Keep the knock sensor you have that came w/the Scirocco.  Put it in the same
place it was on your PL block (near cyl. 1 & 2) and torque it like Bentley tells
you to.

Why get rid of the A/C system?

Bill

Well, my plans are underway to rebuild a 2.0l 16V (from a Passat with 140 000km)
to slap in my 81 rocco. The block was a freebie and I'm hoping that it's in good
order.

However, I've already come across a coupla stumbling blocks (as minor as they
may appear).

Question 1: I'm rebuilding the water pump and I realized that I need single
pulleys. Which ones must I get inorder to do this swap. Will pulleys from a 8V
work? If so, which ones?

Question 2: I'm ditching the a/c and its heavy bracket. I understand that I need
to replace the old heavy alt bracket with a non a/c bracket. Once again, do I
merely use a 8V bracket? Otherwise.....?

Question 3:  The block my friend gave me has two knock sensors. I understand
that the Passats came with two knock sensors. Are the knock sensors from a 16V
scirocco the same, with the same connections? I'll be using the CIS-E system
from a 16V Scirocco if that info is of any use.

Question 4: Ditching the a/c on a 16V requires anything other than what I asked
above?

These are the first of a long string of quesions. I will have more as time
progresses. Thanks for the patience!

TIA
