This is my mk1 1.6 diesel. I know, it looks like bucket of nails

colour will be same - LB5A "Pargas blau". love it. also i don't like chrome. so will be black mirrors, plastic trims and without that porn-chrome fuel cap

wheels are mk3 r15 "Imola" from Canada. steering - Peo, original knob, Blaupunkt sm21 radio. maybe will go on bbs rs in future, but not now, ofc. unfortunately, i don't have a lot of free time like it was previously, because i changed location of work and my garage is far away from me now… around 800 km

They can be hard to start when it's cold, think they're fine once running though. I guess with diesel being an oil its less viscous in freezing temperatures.
Welcome to the club Sergei, your mk1 looks cool.

I've got a 1.6D in my VW T25 and it's slooooow. I'm swapping it for a 1.9 TD AAZ engine which goes really well. They're getting older and harder to find here though so TDi's a better option.
Easiest swap is a 1.9D (engine code 1Y) or go 1.6TD or 1.9TD (AAZ) or TDi (there's loads of options for TDi).
They're all better than a standard 1.6D!

yes, i thought about 1Z, that's why i asked. and it's easy to get here. much more easier than AAF. choosing between tdi 1Z \ benzin ABF with weber-carburetors (i have a possibility to buy one complete right now) or restore original mk1 1.6 diesel engine.GavB95 said

decided, that if i will do AAF or 1Z conversion, then i'll buy new head of block in complete condition. finded on german online-shops, that heads cost around 600 euro + delivery. ofc, it looks not so cheap, but i think, that it's okay for almost half of new engine

i live in Moscow and St.-Petersburg. -20 atm, but it's 2-3 weeks in year. regular winter temperature is -12 -14. +25 +27 in summer time. and rains, rains, rains… however white nights may change this city in better way for a whileBert said
