What kind of fuel economy does that rascal get?

I use to have a VW Rabbit car I got it for free fixed the glow plugs and it ran good I averaged a little over 50 mpg and that was with a fuel leak.
I knew it needed new radiator hoses. I went to town to get them and on my way home the bottom hose broke I couldn't smell or see it (I was driving down a gravel road) The engine temp light came on just as the engine died. Ruined the head :ouch: Check your hoses!!!!!!!!!! |
$600:5::yeah::ok1:
|
well i sold that a little while ago for $2700 on ebay
|
That's a really good buy on a fun truck. I have an 81 with a hot diesel installed. Superfun.
|
I wouldn't mind having one, myself.

Sweet!!
nice one! Take care on the front fenders. They love to have corrosion and rust from the inside!
Did you get a 1.6l Diesel? Or the 1.6 TD? In Germany we had round head lights and a diffrent bumper. If you have the Turbo Diesel throw a huge intercooler behind the front and you go easy up to 120HP. There are special oil cooler avialable for that tiny engine. Man, I loved that engine. I wish you a lot of fun with that roaring diesel. :howdy:greetings Michael |

Diesel pu
Hey Dubdoc,
What setup do you have with your pu? Do you have a td setup? I have an 80 pickup that I'm putting in an 85 td with a Garrett T2. I don't know what to expect, but I rebuilt the whole thing right and have yet to put it in. I think it should be much better than the leaking and tired 1.5 na., but have never driven a td vw. I hope to put in another dash with the tach and cabriolet gauges. Its tough to get time to do it all. Have fun,:pca1: |
