Title: 83 or 84 golf what engine is this?pics inside
Post by: gribur on April 09, 2010, 10:57:09 pm

i bought this golf and i am not sure which engine it has. it is turbo diesel, i am not sure if eco or not.  The pump just looks different from pics i have seen of the pump with fuel enrichment.  The spaceship thing doesnt look the same. heres some pics.

nope, although the boost pin in it is not as good as the 1.6TD one.

if you can find a 1.6 boost pin, it is a nearly drop in upgrade, and will help alot.

We just have to be careful not to spread any near our igloos.... and of course if the sled dogs lick it up there's trouble.   ;)

Yea I saw those valve cover bolts and had to look at the thread title again. I thought this guy got a rabbit someone swapped an 1.9td into.
