Title: Rabbit 1.5 & 1.6 injection parts compatible?
Post by: Gnarlodious on August 13, 2018, 09:52:23 am

Will the injection system (pump, pressure tubes and injectors) from a later 1.6 diesel fit on the 1.5 engine, and work? Is there a page somewhere that tells what engine parts are compatible?

Injection pump, lines, and injectors should work fine.  I'm not aware of a page that outlines the engine differences.  My experience with 1.5's is fairly limited and not recent.  Off the top of my head I believe the pistons, rods, and crank are different along with the intermediate shaft.  The head bolts are also 11mm vs. 12mm although the earliest 1.6's used the 11mm bolts.

That helps, thanks.
