FS: 1991 VW GTI with 1.6NA diesel, not running
« on: March 21, 2010, 03:51:29 pm »
Timing belt slipped, at idle,... so... probably toast.  But maybe it has good parts on it.  The engine was rebuilt only about 15k ago, and it's got a new starter, injectors, and glow plugs only about 100 miles ago. Ran pretty good till the timing belt..... (biodiesel got on it and softened the rubber.. oops ::) 5 speed manual stock in the 8 valve GTI's, which seems to have pretty good gearing for the diesel.  Comes with two sets of alloy rims, one 13" with summer tires, and one 14" with studded snow tires.  Those are probably worth the most out of anything on it  :D     I have too many projects, and want to focus on my diesel landrover project instead, so the VW needs to go.  Located in Ward, CO (near Denver area).  Asking $200 OBO.  Come and get it.

If the above guy is not interested, I might be. It would be a few days before I could come down to get.
Do you have clear title???

Yes, clear Colorado title in my name.  Title still indicates it's a gasoline engine though -- I never got it changed to diesel.  Only matters if you have emissions tests (I had it registered down in southern CO).   I'll need a few days notice to get it out of the snowbank it's parked in now (since it hasn't been running I've been plowing snow towards it instead of away from it, so will have to move a pile with the tractor :)

I called my friend and hes trying to find time to go get it. Ill call him now and find out. If it comes together Id like to get your number so I can just give it to him and you can work out the picking up details.
