Has there ever been a reason Porsche/VW speced L-jet injection for the 1.8 engines instead of D-jet like the 1.7 and 2.0 engines used?
Usually when manufactures do this there are financial reasons for the change. Either they have the same engine on other vehicles they produce, or its just cheaper to use whatever part is being used. But Porsche didn't use the T4 motor on other cars at the time. And if it was cheaper, they would have done away with Djet on the 1.7 and 2.0. I don't think VW was using l-let at the time for the bus... but maybe? There has to be a reason that Porsche wanted Ljet on the 1.8. Zach |

By now All the forms have changed likely Ha…. I work in a state bureaucracy nope. still on file with CARB (California Air Resources Board). it is what you and they refer to in establishing what equipment cars are fitted with originally and C0 etc levels. you and i can go get them if you ask @L-Jet914 nicely - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) its how they check a 76 complies. ps ii have a feeling that what might have hung up 76s for years might be lack of a cat and egr pipe exhaust system once the parts fell into unobtanium territory. but just say you had a 76 in intact condition with good internals, be no reason it would not sail through a smog check. everything on a 75 is exactly the same as a 76 and all same C0 levels etc. so thats the parts pool. anything 75 cal spec. different matter for a 912E. because they start producing it after jan01 76 its the world of 76 cal emissions standards. hence the L -Jet fitted and smog pump etc. but it does not have a CAT. instead it has the tin pot thermal reactor style exhausts that are supposed to do same thing as a CAT. again probably close to unobtanium. |
