[Vwdiesel] free to a good home

[Brian & Ruth Decker]

Where does Goldies engine reside. I have a 1981 Rabbit pickup that would be a willing recipient of a donor 1.6 TD engine. I ran a 1.6TD in a 90 Fox and years ago in a Rabbit pickup I installed a 1.6 TD but I sold it to someone in California about 15 years ago.

1.6 TD engine, was recovered from "Goldie" when she went to her final rusting place in 2010. (550,000km)

Filthy, but runs like a top. I'll be 82 in July, and am still running an
89 1.6TD, and my old faithful 94 AAZ 1.9 road tripper.
Time to downsize. U-pick up in vicinity of Ottawa, Canada (western suburb).

History, I found it in a dissolving rabbit nearby, and when cleaning it up for the Goldie transplant, discovered a sticker on the block that said "Re-manufactured by VW Canada" I had a VW tech friend replace all the seals and the clutch plate, and TB, and ran it in Goldie for more than 100,000km. (pushing 100,000 miles). Never missed a beat, and always seemed to be more eager than the original. Faithful oil changes, never burned oil, always passed emissions tests (no smoke), ran on 50% veggie in summer.

Would part with some other stuff too, spare injection pumps, A2 & A3, 1 each, some spare axles, A2 & a3, A3 Tranny, other junk.

Must clean out the shop.
