1984 16d engine in a 1992 Passat?

[SteveR]

Does anyone know whether a 16d will fit in a 1992 passat wagon? Will the bell housing match the block? What about flywheel and clutch?
I have a line on a 1992 Passat GL wagon with a blown 2.0 gas engine.

I think it will but you'll have to verify the 16D block has the castings in the block for the power steering bracket, and get rid of the p/s motor mount attached to the injection pump bracket.

It should mate with the transmission fine. You may need to install a pilot bearing into the crankshaft though, not sure.

Just wondering how much your passat wagon weighs in kg's (it should tell you somewhere on your driver or passenger door frame)
i'm askin because i'm shoving a 1.6 diesel in a mk3 jetta that weighs 430lbs more then the mk2 jetta

I would say its very heavy. The rubber band under the hood will have to be wound a couple extra wraps!! Should be a drop in. Fun with wiring thats all.

I have a Passat Wagon with a 92 ECO diesel in it and it pulls it very well (for a diesel), but the turbo probably helps a lot. It's a heavy car for a 1.6 NA but with synthetic oil and enough rpms it should get you around fairly well. I wouldn't want it here in the DC area since everyone drives like they are in NASCAR and get upset if you can't go 0-60 in less than 10 seconds. Needless to say, they have to wait on me.

Isn't the DC area great?!? I love it when I'm pulling away from the toll booth and they zoom around me to go 70... then after a little bit I catch up and pass them...

Whats with everyone it seemsdoing the 1.6N/A in these newer heavier cars? You will know when you see us on the road. I am going to get a grandma wig to wear while driving my underpowered sled.

my car may be slow at go.. but when it comes to stopping---- four disc braking power is good too.. atleast ready for the TDi

I think it's amusing that the government is lowering mileage standards because everyone that drives like an idiot was getting upset that their 6000 pound SUV wouldn't get 15/19 MPG like the sticker said. So now they re-rate it at 11/15 mpg so when they are doing stoplight racing they know what to expect (11 mpg!) or 15 mpg at 80 mph (if you're lucky).

Damn I must be getting old! Gonna have to get one of those old lady wigs too.

RazzInstead of a passat body, I found an 81 rabbit dx diesel body. I'm waiting on the response from the fellow who has it in a grove on a nearly abandoned farmstead near here. No rust, even on the strut towers!
I travel in rural Minnesota where a LOT of machines make less than fifteen MPH on the main thoroughfares. Who needs a jackrabbit when an old rabbit will do? javascript:emoticon(':D')
Very Happy

A Rabbit DX?
I've never heard of that.
I've heard of a rabbit pickup LX.
