[Vwdiesel] weight of 1.6TD?

[Josh W]

That seems CRAZY high- I've carried a 2.0L VW NA gasser, complete with head,
manifolds, oil filter, distributer, 4 qts of oil, etc, the 30 feet from the door of
my garage to the back of it- and I am not a very big guy.  My back had
a nice stiff spot the next day, but I can't imagine that was over 250
lbs.
