So I've built a 2.0 16v with 1.8 16v head. The oil pump shaft and gear for the intermediate shaft are held in place by a cap/retainer. The 1.8 16v is a different size (narrower diam) and I don't have the one from a 2.0 that I need. Anyone help out?
Object at bottom of image.
So you have a part that would fit if it had a smaller diameter? It sounds like something that could be easily modified by someone with a lathe.
No. Part is too small. The 2.0 uses a larger diam cap and I only have the smaller 1.8.
Is the 16v head going on an ABA block?
I likely have one in my garage if you still searching for one? Not sure what shipping would be from NB Canada though?
Edit: actually I may have used this when I swapped my 9a oil pump into my spare aba bottom end. I’ll have to check tomorrow.

1.8 16v head on 9a bottom end.

To Vermont, 05487 if you still have.
In reply to vwcorvette :
As I understand it, you can put a 16v head on an aba, and either use the aba shaft with the 16v gear (what I am in the process of doing), or swap in the 9a stuff. So maybe that means you could also use the ABA shaft and pump in a 9a. This probably doesnt help you now, but it at least gives you another avenue to look down since 2.0 8v motors are everywhere.
In reply to TR7 :
On an aba this hole is used by the distributor, this block off plate/plug keeps the oil pump shaft in place if I remember correctly.
In reply to 1SlowVW :
Ah, now I get what were looking to do.
It looks like this guy might have what you are looking for.

Looks like I used it to build my aba16v that’s been sitting on my engine stand for a while. If you can’t find one local I can probably rob one from one of my parts motor this weekend( kind of buried right now) Looks like shipping would be about 20$...
In reply to 1SlowVW :
If it's the larger diam plug I'm interested. Can you measure?
That's it. How much to 05487?
I think this would allow you to use your current one...for 30$ may want to check with tt to be sure.
In reply to 1SlowVW :
Sent question into TT. See what they say.
Was tt able to fix you up?

No response yet.
Still no response. Was suggested on another site that AEB or ATW might work.
Yeah, I don’t have one here to check but an early 1.8t I think had the plug.

Want to sell me the one in the pic above?
If you can’t find one locally make me a reasonable offer and I can ship it this weekend when I’m back home.
or bbm is offering the dizzy gizzy again.
