Or just one of those 2,500-dollar ones and fix on it yerself.

just a low spot where some of the black paint survived.
Not there on the 1.6.

Whenever I mess with timing on the 5cyl cars its very easy since the flywheel is easy to see while still moving the crank a bit from the front. I always joke with my VW friends about how the older Audi engines are in the engine bay the "right" way

i dont think thats a hole above the breather, i think thats just how the later aaz/1y/tdi 058 tall blocks are shaped. thats definitely a 1.9 block based off of that, on a 1.6 the engine code spot is almost right up against the deck of the block

on the tach, if you can find a the same cluster you have but with a tachometer for a gas engine then you can run a dakota digital converter.

There is a specific bolt and washer for the CY engine listed and I have no clue if thats whats in the car now. I doubt it. There are a few specific pulley pieces based upon the engine code and if it has power steering (mine does). Oddly enough there is a different water pump pulley listed (on a different diagram), which I believe I do have.
This thing is wild. I'm thankful to have a vw diesel guy here that helps with that sort of stuff, but since this is such an odd car its been fun.

After i originally posted that i am certain i went back and edited it with something about "if they came with turbos" and never checked back. At least that is my story and i am sticking to it. D'oh!
