.. for an 84 1.6D with 5spd attached, i think running. and a running 1991 1.6TD, not bad and I have another parts 1.6D in the garage
WHAT TO DO!?
My 81 is getting the TDI, dunno whats happening on the transmission.. Im thinking bolt it to the 020 for now until I can get things sorted out, and then work in the 02A Hydro clutch, and Cable shift.
My 84 is being kept, and one of the n/a's in place of the 1.7 most likely.. as I just absolutely hate the gas engine..
lol I cannot stand 25mpg :p
I was thinking of swapping the TD in to my gf's 90 wolf Jetta.. but hers is the 010 auto-box and finding a diesel starter will not be fun, i would think.
Also if the 90 idea doesn't work out (as i'd really like to get a TDI in the hood of that thing as well
) my younger bro's 84 has a tiring 1.7 as well.. and he wants to get the diesel in his veins as well
HAHH IT IS SPPREADING!!!
What should i do?
5 speed awap in the 90...
Australian Water Availability Project (awap)
What be this?
and Jeremy, I believe I can get you a remaned Auto starter.
Carquest has em.. And chances are good you could slip the gasser or manual trans starter back in the box for a core...
you might be on to something here Brett.. However it will make the 1.6 scream behind that 010.. 3500+ on the hwy.

3500 isn't screaming. Maybe yelling at the kids but you got another 1000 RPM before its screaming. Probably would be better milage lower but I wouldn't think it too awful.
how much highway driving does that car see?
if it is a regular on the highway it might not be a great idea, but if it is like mine and only makes occasional trips on the big streets I would not worry too much.

Gf does %95 of driving above 100km/h which means above like 3200.. sadly.. I have a whole 91 with rusted pillars and strut towers that i want to do a full conversion of diesel engine and 5 speed.. but she is not willing to give her car up for that long or really thrilled about driving stick.. lol
hehe Do like i did, traded the auto in and told her to learn to drive stick lol

Ditto.
it's not exactly hard. Tell Carolyn to man up.
On the upside a diesel is about the easiest thing possible to learn stick on since they're really hard to stall...
