[Vwdiesel] Quickie on how to tell a 1500 from a 1600, 1600Td ( without turbo ) and 1.9

[gary]

BLOCK:
Look at the engine code. It is located just below the water neck on the
side of the head.

CK: 1.5L NA(non-turbo) Mechanical-Lifters
CR: 1.6L NA Mech
MD: 1.6L TD(turbo-diesel) mech
CY: 1.6L TD Mech
ME: 1.6L NA Hydraulic-Lifters
MF: 1.6L TD Hyd
1V: 1.6L TD Hyd This is the infamous EcoDiesel.

HEAD:
068 103 373 B: 1.6L mech
068 103 373 N: 1.6L TD mech
 There are more head casting numbers, but this is all I know from direct
experience.

This should get you started.
