Well I have finally received everything necessary to begin the  
conversion of my Caddy from TD to TDI!  :^)  In anticipation of that,  
the 1.6 TD engine in the Caddy is officially for sale.  What I would  
really like to do is have it basically presold so that I can pull it  
out of the truck and either have someone come and get it (or meet  
someplace nearby, say within 200 miles) or put it directly on a  
pallet ready for shipping.  As it sits in the truck right now it has  
exactly 20315 miles on it since complete rebuild so it is just barely  
broken in.  I had the block cleaned and bored to the first oversize,  
I had the crank polished up a bit and replaced all bearings (rod and  
crank), and put in German oversized pistons.  The injection pump was  
rebuilt (almost $500) and the turbo was rebuilt (almost $400) so all  
in all, I probably have about $3000 in the engine. I have installed 4  
rebuilt injectors with the high flow GTD nozzles (this engine just  
BEGS for an intercooler), new intermediate shaft bearings, new clutch  
disc, new pressure plate and nearly new flywheel.  All hoses were  
replaced as well as the water pump, timing belt and V-belt.   It.  
will come with all the ancillary parts, unless you specify that you  
do not want them (alt, AC compressor, leaks, needs new main body  
seal, etc.) The FF tranny will also be available as well as a non-VW  
A/C unit with some electrical circuit board problems.  I should be  
able to put my hands on almost all of the receipts for the work done  
so that will go with the engine. Engine runs great just needs some  
precise timing and an intercooler to be a real screamer.  Burns  
minimal oil, maybe 1/2 between oil changes.   I wanted to list the  
motor here to give you guys first shot  before it goes on ebay.  Make  
me a realistic offer and we can talk.  Pmail me so that we can keep  
it off the lists.  Hayden
