• Hi,
  
  I'm looking for a 1.6td, 1.6na, or a 1.9 tdi with blown timing belt (to turn into a 1.9 IDI).  I would prefer a short block without head.  Would be interested in a 1.6td in need of a rebuild, as well. 
  
  
  Let me know.   Not looking to spend a lot; just looking for an engine to mess around with and replace my clapped out 1.6na that I put a little too much boost into.

• What happened to your 1.6? Was the vnt too much for it?

• It consumes more than 1qt of oil per 500 miles, and the bores have a ton of slop in them.  I'd rebuild it, but I figure a 11mm block isn't really worth rebuilding, as it seems like they have a long history of cracking. (although I do have ARP studs)
  
  I don't think the vnt itself ruined it, but it definitely didn't help.  The previous owner ran super cheap oil and fram filters for the last 200k.
