I've got to make room. I already lised my 1.7 KY that i just took out of my transporter. Guaranteed good compression and has piston oilers! this is the heavy duty version of a 1.6 l made for the german government . Same stroke but pistons from a 1.9l . Selling without IP or injectors. Perfect canidate for turbocharging. Very strong runner, just not enough for a 4000 lbs truck.
$1000 CND or reasonable OBO+shipping/handling
if you close you'll see the pistons squiters[/img]

I can take some pics as i have to bring my camera in for another project i have to document. I will even pull the pan to show the piston squiters.
I was thinking that if someone wanted just the short block as that's the real difference between it and a 1.6.

I wonder if the heads prechambers the same size?
It seems like the bigger pistons would shove more air into that little space.

I'm also curious to see what the chambers look like, but i'm not going to open it unless someone takes just the short block etc. As far as i know the head is the same as a 1.6 na. I hope to make time tomorrow to take off the pan and take pics of the piston oilers.

Marc,
Do you know if it is possible to bore the 1.6TD cylinders out to accommodate 1.9TD pistons or would that leave cylinder walls too thin? What are you planing on putting in your 4,000 lb truck - TDI?

I'm not sure about boring out a 1.6 although that cetainly seems what my 1.7 is. Others on this site would know more about it.
I now have a 1.9 na what used to be an industrial engine .low milage, never turned more than 3000 rpms , never outsite in the elements, and the price was right.

if only the head is the same, would the mounting points be different than the 1.6l? how difficult would this be to drop in from a 1.6l engine bay? ALso, not that i doubt you, but what exactly does "good compression gauranteed" mean
If it was not so far i would consider it but i am sure shipping to AZ would be a monster bill.

see thats why cavy should post pics so we have documentation of a 1.7 even if he took pics. next to a 1.6 block for comparison would be great!

Other than the 1.7 D stamp on the back ,it looks like a 1.6. The 1.9 i replaced it with bolted up perfectly. And since the head is the same, the block lenght has to be also. Pics coming up in a few minutes!
