Just to expand a little on Guyfang's post, you need to be a paid member to sell, but not to seek parts in the "wanted" area.

I believe the part number you need is N3118 which is NSN 6110-01-485-9081 Put a want in the classifieds as some have removed the monster 400A and replaced them with 200A

It should not take long, IIRC it would shift one time, if so I predict you should see a code 87

Any time you are doing electrical work where you are going from off to run repeatedly you should disconnect the TSU or you can burn up the glow plugs. Any time the TSU is plugged in and you turn the run switch to off you MUST wait at least 90 second before going back to run. All this is laid out...

If you disconnect the batteries the codes will be erased.

Does the trans light come on when switched to run and then go off when started?

Sorry! :eek:

If you disconnect the batteries you will erase the codes, you would need to drive it again enough to cause it to go into limp mode and then try again without disconnecting the batteries.

Welcome to the SS forums!!

It may be advantageous to source another OM617 With a pump mod and a good Holset turbo I should see around 170HP which would be enough. The OM617 will do 230HP with a 7.5mm IP, 7CM Holset turbo and an intercooler but an otherwise stock engine. One would need to be careful though with a drive...

All the VW engines that looked like candidates are significantly low on power.

Then it is likely ether the lamp is not getting power from the inst. panel of the lamp is bad.

What would the advantage be?

I was reading about some guy trying to mate a VW to the 404, he was trying to hand make an adapter as there are none available. This would be difficult given the design of the 404 bell housing. I think with the lack of an adapter a MB engine would be the most likely candidate, like GM and others...

Actually I see two salvage vehicle at auction in TX with the OM617 at this time, I may just get one and see if it is worth using. Although I would REALLY like to get away from IDI, they are certainly the dogs of the diesel world.
