Here a cool 1.6D engine in a marine application. I've never see one before so it's interesting to me.
Does the exhaust dump into the lake? No need for cooling system, just circulate lake water?
Perhaps someone could copy some info and host pics before the CL ad expires

interesting intake manifold.
I think the heat exchanger he is talking about is a water-to-water exchanger for marine use.
And yeah the exhaust probably dumps under water too

The water pump sucks lake(or sea) water up into the special exhaust manifold which cools the manifold and heats water...thermostat decides recirc, or pull more water form the manifold...dumps back to sea, along with the exhaust.
Pathfinder did 2.4 6 clys too.

Ah, ok.
My rich brother was telling me about his former houseboat in singapore, which he had to replace the 'radiator' on before he sold it. He was up for a bit of DIY so he did it himself. It was a water-to-water exchanger.
The boat had an isuzu marine diesel with specs not too different from a vw 1.6.

Why is it that none of us driving the old beater VWs are the "rich Brother"? Something amiss there.

I dunno, "president lincoln" over on the vortex has something like 8 cars at the moment. including a mk6 gti.
the mountain green mk1 rabbit is the one i covet, though.
I know what you mean, though. I hear that in singapore it generally costs more to license a car than to buy it, but my brother there has a car all the same. a car - in a country 26 miles long with an excellent public transit system. It's for his wife - he rides his bike to work.

That's not a bad deal for a couple VW diesels, and the marinizing parts. If I were building a boat I would be all over that.

It's neat seeing the engine in wakamo position for once
Great for a generator project (near a lake)

If you used a stack, the soot would mostly fall out on the water anyway.
