Camshaft problems 205 gti 1,9 dkz

[George 205 gti 1.9 dkz 0]

Hi Everyone, please help me with the right number of my camshaft , because I can’t find it to buy , here is the photo . My car is 1989 1,9 gti 120hp dkz

[Gohn 62]

apologies if this info is just a repeat of what you already know

 

camshaft for a 1989 205GTI 1.9 could be either

number 0801N1 which is an XU9J1

or... 0801P2 which is an XU9JA

or... 08001N5 which is an XU9JAZ

 

the XU9JAZ is rated to 120hp and it has a Z , so probably 08001N5 is the one you want

 

but I've no clue really, the catalog does not refer to DKZ so hopefully a more knowledgeable owner will confirm

When I open the photo of this camshaft , no one looks like mine , that’s the big question 

[George 205 gti 1.9 dkz 0]

0801.n5 vs mine 

they are different and all others are different to mine

DKZ is easy to identify. It is the only cam to have inlet lift of 0.448" and exhaust lift of 0.405".

I need to identify by photo of the camshaft

This :

 

 

 

They have paint ring marks for ID which is which ...

 

New aftermarket there's one from "Ajusa" 93012900 , and AE (Federal Mogul) CAM459 . But i doubt that they're the correct specific to the 1.9 engine/camshaft variations in terms of lift duration lobe angle etc.

 

Better to find good used original , or go for one of the mild performance cams .

Engine is closed now , Damir thank you , but can you help me by my photo?

[DamirGTI 323]

Yes (i'll try) , but better picture is needed .. take a picture of complete camshaft , good close up shot .

 

The part of the camshaft on which are the paint ring markings are blocked by those white plastic containers .

 

Can you measure the lobes with the vernier calipers ? if you can measure both inlet and exhaust and post measurements so we'll see ..
