Title: WTB: 1.6 td or na, 1.9 tdi with blown tbelt in MN
Post by: hamradio on January 02, 2010, 09:01:15 pm

Hi,

I'm looking for a 1.6td, 1.6na, or a 1.9 tdi with blown timing belt (to turn into a 1.9 IDI).  I would prefer a short block without head.  Would be interested in a 1.6td in need of a rebuild, as well. 


Let me know. ;)  Not looking to spend a lot; just looking for an engine to mess around with and replace my clapped out 1.6na that I put a little too much boost into.

What happened to your 1.6? Was the vnt too much for it?

It consumes more than 1qt of oil per 500 miles, and the bores have a ton of slop in them.  I'd rebuild it, but I figure a 11mm block isn't really worth rebuilding, as it seems like they have a long history of cracking. (although I do have ARP studs)

I don't think the vnt itself ruined it, but it definitely didn't help.  The previous owner ran super cheap oil and fram filters for the last 200k.
