I think the problem with Bryan's 1.9NA hammering is due to incorrect timing
or/and a injector problem. This is a "birthing" problem IMO and is normal to
expect when  bringing a new motor to life. It has nothing to do with Overland
Parts or their dealers. The timing and adjustment procedure is the same for
the 1.6NA and 1.9NA as outlined in Bentley.
The real issue with Overland Parts is that they sold Bryan and me the 1.9NA
motor as a turbo motor. They still maintain today there is no problem with
adding a turbo even though the AAZ true TD motor has stronger rods,pistons
and crankshaft along with the turbo oil drain hole in the block. Since
Overland has sold both 1.9NA and 1.9TD longblocks in the past I can only
guess that they are either ignorant of the differences or they figure if a
customer turbos a NA motor that he won't see a problem until long after the
warranty expires. Besides Bryan and me, I know of one other person (a
experienced VW mechanic)who was misled by Overland Parts. If there are any
listees who have turboed the 1.9NA and have more than 40,000 trouble free
miles on it, I would like to hear from them.
