1.9td prices?

[aximiliei]

Hey, I'm curious in the southern/central ontario region how much aaz's are going for these days. I have pulled the old tired 1.6NA out of my rabbit and looking for a replacement and trying to decide if i should go for a stock swap or depending on cost a 1.9td for a little extra power. I'm coming up a little short on my search's on getting a decent ball park price. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks Aaron

Here you go.

$1000 gets you the whole car, new fuel pump, recon starter. Part it out, or slap the tired 1.6 in it for a running shell to sell for $500 Bobs your uncle.

$1500 gets you an AHU TDI. Slightly more involved swap.. Not to bad of a swap really, I can help you out with quite a few questions if you want. I'm mid TDI swap in to my 81 as we speak. PM ME!

ok thanks next quick question do i have to do motor mount swaps on the 1.9 for the rabbit?

Yes... on an MK1 the passenger side motor mount is part of the injection pump bracket... not so on the AAZ (MK3) config.

When I get home tonight I'll track down a good thread on what's needed to put an AAZ in an MK1 platform:

oh ok thanks. Aaron

This is the thread I was thinking of... it's a 1.6 MK2 motor but it's all the same stuff that would need to be done for a AAZ as well.... motor mount(s) and exhaust being the two biggest differences... and both easily surmountable.
