Very cool! What's the plan with it?

RE: my vw lt recovery truck - Ron - 03-24-2016

I will fit a beaver tail recovery body to it and use it for transporting my other cars.

I need to decide on which flywheel to use, solid or dual mass? and I need to decide on electronic or mechanical injector pump?

RE: my vw lt recovery truck - seanyt - 03-24-2016

Nice project, engine sits tall in there. looks like you still have the electronic pump on it. i can help you with this if you need it.

RE: my vw lt recovery truck - Ron - 03-24-2016

That's how it landed in there off the engine crane, I need to move it back and down a few inches, there is a big plastic engine cover in these lt's anyway and the 606 is taller than the 2.4 that it originally came with.
I gave my ecu to TDR to deimmobilize a couple of weeks ago, didn't know you were offering ecus already done at the time

Since I'm using a manual transmission is there a factory flywheel with the 6 trigger pins for the sensor? I can get a flywheel from a 02 c220cdi 6 speed manual but I'm sure I'll need to mod the triggers

RE: my vw lt recovery truck - seanyt - 03-24-2016

Im good friends with TDR Joe is a good lad, he will sort you out,
There was a w210 om606 model with dual mass flywheel , a quick check on ebay shows an luk part

https://infopart.org/luk-415013710-part

this should have your 6 trigger teeth on it.
hard to find an exact image of it though so maybe check with http://www.murfit.ie/ before ordering anything.
i know the c250td are easily got but there obviously a 5 teeth trigger ring

also cdi trigger wheels are 60-1 or there abouts

RE: my vw lt recovery truck - Ron - 03-24-2016

Yes Joe has sorted ecus for me for other conversions I've done and have always been spot on.

Thanks for the flywheel info

RE: my vw lt recovery truck - pryantcc - 03-24-2016

See the solid flywheel work I did here:

Needed a lathe but wasn't hard to put the 6 sensor triggers in.

RE: my vw lt recovery truck - Ron - 03-24-2016

Good info there thanks. Did you drill the holes to correspond with the pegs on the flex plate is it tdc for each cylinder?

RE: my vw lt recovery truck - mcwfxx - 03-24-2016

Wow, that's a brilliant project! Plenty of poke and economical! You just don't see many VW Lt's across here in england, or at least i don't, not the mk1 one anyway, plenty of "sprinters" ;-)

Hi Ron,
No, it doesn't matter where the pegs are so long as they are evenly spaced. The pump is timed to the crank already, so the squirts of fuel will always happen at the right time. The sensor just wants to know RPM.

RE: my vw lt recovery truck - Tobulus - 10-03-2016

Is there any progress on this project? I am planning on doing the same thing. Does the oilsump clear the front crossmember? Does your LT have independent front suspension?

RE: my vw lt recovery truck - Hario' - 10-04-2016

Sweet, look forward to your tranny solution. Would a 722.6 auto & controller be a better solution for that type of vehicle?

RE: my vw lt recovery truck - nord - 12-02-2016

From the chassis I see - no, only "thin" chassis and vans had wishbones in the front, used on light duty LT28 and LT35 rigs. LT40 and up to LT55 (28 - 2.8T gross weight, 35 - 3.5T...etc.) have thicker chassis and leaf springs.

722.6 really doesn't cut it for a car transporter. Adapter for a stock transmission would be the best option.

I'll have this followed, since I have a friend that drives an LT50 recovery truck that is in dire need of more power...

RE: my vw lt recovery truck - Ron - 03-05-2017

I have done no work on this for the past year but I do have a mechanical pump on the way from dieselmeken. I have a 6 speed gearbox from a mercedes sprinter and need to decide on which clutch and flywheel to purchase, dual mass or solid?

RE: my vw lt recovery truck - Ron - 03-05-2017

To answer the earlier question about the sump, I have fitted an e320cdi sump and oil pump, mine is an lt50 so it has leaf spring suspension up front, I think I will need to mod the sump a bit to clear the bar that goes between the wheels as it might hit the sump on full compression
