OR that engine with a computer to control the timing of the injection AND 1.9L instead! and a zero tolerance engine with swirl chambers in the pistons instead of in the head!!! Direct injection! I'm a GENIUS!!!

Direct injection actually predated indirect injection. IDI was chosen for passenger vehicles because it was quieter and had greater ability to rev higher than a DI diesel did, at what was at the time a very acceptably small loss of efficiency.

Even now, a 1.9TD will rev higher (unmodified) than a 1.9 TDI, and the latter has the fancy computer controlled fuel injection and modern alloys working for it.

I'd love to see a return to IDI with miniscule displacement small diesels (<1L and ~3 cylinders or so) with computerized injection control and modern materials. Almost sounds like an engine suitable for a motorcycle...  :twisted:

You would be surprized.

It was the only photo missing from my Photobucket account.  :shock:

I boosted the photo from a post in the Vortex, and that got nuked too.

It's an EPA conspiracy to enforce copyright.  They don't want us to know that diesels  > hybrids, and VW doesn't want us to know that the '79 rabbit D was more fuel efficient than their current fleet.

So was there a 5-spd tranny available in '79? I get nervous going over 60 in my '79 1.5D 4 speed. 15k miles at 78 mph is impressive, if they used a 4-spd. Or maybe I don't rev mine out nearly as much as I should be... I always seem to shift once-removed from those little orange dots on the speedo, which would tell me that I'm not nearly as high in the rpms as VW intended.
