Subject:Someday a 1.9 T.D.
From:- Jeff & Kim Prudhoe
Date:Sat, 14 Oct 2000 00:47:48 EDT

I am fortunate to own a 40K mile '82 Westy Diesel.  However the 1.6 at times
tries my patience and it is clearly evident that it was better suited in the
Rabbit application.  Therefore I am looking to upgrade the poweplant.  I am
told the diesel set up allows for an easier transition to the inline-4.  I,
however, am spoiled with my current MPG and am considering the 1.9 Diesel.
Has anyone purchased one of those offered from Parts Place in Michigan?
(Prices seem O.K.)  Should I go N.A. or Turbo?

Any thoughts are appreciated.
