The 1.5 diesels all had 4-2-1 manifolds and downpipes. They
seemed to breathe very nicely once you put a big enough pipe
behind them. The early 4-1 was awful (not sure if the diesel got
that one or not). It had no split. They soon changed them to
have an internal divider for a pseudo 4-2 arrangement. As I
recall anyway...
Yup, my thought is that the oil cap came off, oil got on the belt,
belt jumped a tooth and now it's off time. You've not said if it
smokes during that short time it starts and runs.
