WTB: Complete TD engine

Post by hitbyastick »

Hello there!
the engine on my 84 rabbit has recently decided to retire, so I'm in need of a replacement. Rather than rebuilding to stock or swapping some gasser into it, I'm wondering if anyone has a TD engine around or even a parts car. I don't mind rebuilding but I don't want to spend too much money on 52 horsepower. I think an AAZ would be ideal, but I'm ok with the ecodiesel or 1.6TD
Let me know what you have and what you might want for it!

Thanks!
Chris

I have a 1.9TD AAZ with 1.6TD pump and 1.6TD turbocharger. Complete with AC and alt brackets (V-belt) pump and alt.
I removed it from service running wonderful. Powerful with excellent MPG. It had a small hair-line crack on the backside mid-way below turbo. It leaked 12oz per day, really hard to find leak. When I finally found the crack, pulled it and my welder said he could not repair it due to coolant. 4 months later...

I had already replaced the engine with another 1.9TD with serpentine and was driving the Caddy by then. I really wanted serpentine. I looked at the block, used commercial/military grade metal polymer repair, and the hairline crack is repaired. Confidence it don't leak externally.

It is in my shop on engine stand, here in South Central VA.

$1200 for complete engine assembly, flywheel and big clutch for 020. I need shop space.
