Topic: VW TDI Engine/transmission Question
So if I have an old Omni/Horizon that came with a 1st-gen VW 1.7 (gas) and a 4-speed 020 transmission, what other engines will bolt up to it?
Ideally I'd like a diesel, and from what I've been able to gather a 3rd-gen Golf/Jetta (roughly '91-'99) 1.9 TDI should bolt up to an 020, still have mechanical injection to make it easy to wire up, and be a pretty sturdy power plant. I've been looking for an original 1st-gen 1.5 diesel, but those are getting hard to find and expensive.
Somebody who knows VW stuff please aim me in the right direction.
