After yrs of looking I finaly found a 1.6td in our local pic'npulll yard..... I spotted it last wk but it being mothers day I thought it best not to show up covered in diesel grime or not at all..... so I had to wait a wk to go back ,, hoping that the metal termites wouldn't wreak it in the mean time..... I would have gone monday morning 7 am ,,,,, but since I was just put on full time at the bigest scenic / lighting / show mngmnt shop in SF my wallet said "lets wait for saturday,,,, ":x: these engines in the peoples republic of Kalifornia are Very hard to find , in 2 yrs of looking it's the only one I've seen...( at a u pic). any how it was still there , BUT the termites had been at it , the inj lines were gone ,2 snapt off, the pan off ,the pump in pieces shaft missing, vacpump gone, injectors thrown under the Merc next door . 2 inj pump unions unscrewed and in the dirt by the back whlls and the turbo tossed under the saab across the way......:cry:........ they stole the stock down pipe, it's the only big part I couldn't find... I found most all the missing parts except the oil pump shaft, the inj pump throttle arm (any body got a spare?) and a inj pump pipe union check valve seat. I also got a "ACN " code tranny too ... the best part of the day was at the check out when I was told that it was half price day....... $180 bucks total and $35 back for all my junk parts for a engine core...
By the way,,,,, the Audi 4000 rear drums I swapped on the frankenbunny work great !! didn't even have to change the ebrake cables........
