[Vwdiesel] 944 Diesel

[Kurt Nolte]

Audi had two 5-cylinder diesels in the 80's, available in the US in the 
Audi 5000 platform. Both were 2.0l derivatives of the VW 1.5/1.6 
engines. The naturally aspirated engine was engine code CN, producing 
67hp @4800 RPM. The turbocharged version was a DE engine code, producing 
84hp @4500 RPM.

Neither engine is very common in the US, and after '84 you could only 
get the DE, and then only in Canada. Both engines share a bolt pattern 
with the VW 5-cylinder engines, and I believe that both the CN and the 
DE retain the 11mm headbolts that the 1.5 and first year 1.6 diesels 
have (the solution being installing aftermarket studs). I -know- the CN 
has 11mm headbolts.

I have a CN block, head and injection pump if anyone wants to buy it off 
me. I've disassembled it somewhat in the process of breaking it down for 
a reringing and possible rebore, as it was using quite a bit of oil when 
I bought it. The project I bought it for has moved on to other things, 
and I'd be willing to let it go for a good price if folks want to 
contact me off-list. The head is not warped and the block has not been 
cracked around any of the bolt holes.
