To my knowledge based on a 1983 sales brochure i have turbo diesel was offered as a JETTA GL model. I love this coupe its my second mk1 jetta coupe that i have owned and only the 3rd 1.6TD ive ever seen!
Currently own:
1983 Rabbit GTi ( for last 14yrs)
1990 Jetta Coupe 2.0 swap.
1983 Jetta Coupe TD
Thanks!

Approximately 80 for 83 and approximately 400 for 84.
Jetta Coupe TD equipped cars production can't be much more...
I also had a 83 Jetta Coupe TD.
I have seen only around 5 or 6 Coupe TDs
Not much help, but it may give you a baseline....

Factory Rabbit TD equipped cars only had a run of about 500 for 83 and 84.

maybe those numbers are only for a rabbit, since td rabbits are quite uncommon, i have seen many many mk1 jetta turbo diesels, enough to think they have made more than just 900 in total

really? ive seen only a few. i personally would think jettas and coupes are more rare them not being westmoreland. my bros info thru vw states the car was shipped from germany and had to be special ordered.

thats an extremely rare mk1. very few td coupes were made, i think especially since most of them were higher trimmed gl cars, and most people getting a gl probably wanted a 4 door. you could get a turbo diesel in a gl or a base model, i have badges for both.
came without badges :-/ but im sure its a GL as it does have chrome trime handles.. and factory ac!! thats part of GL trim as per vw manual i have for 1983/84

I also talked to a friend in Germany recently and asked him about Mk1 Coupe TDs. He said he hasn't seen many over there either...

Don't know how many of these cars they made either. I know mine came from the factory with the 1.6td and the three speed auto, and I've been told that would have been a special order only car. PO blew the turbo motor and replaced it with a NA 1.6 but that's not a big deal as I already have the mTDI (and a 5-speed) ready to swap in. But in its current state it gives new meaning to the word 'slow'! :(
