Hi
My 1.6 td JX engine (fitted with intercooler) in my 1990 Syncro has died.
These are my only wheels so want to get back on the road ASAP
I am looking to replace it with a 1.9 TDI AHU (the same block as a 1Z) engine & fit a mechanical fuel pump.
I have the option of a not so good complete engine or a reconditioned long block.
My priority is reliability but a small power increase would be welcome.
If I go for the long block I know I would also need to fit the intake manifold & oil breather to block pipe (I hope to keep the JX exhaust manifold & turbo to allow me to use the original 1.6 engine brackets).
My question is; is it possible for me to use the other ancillaries (alternator, PS pump etc) for ease of fitting & am I missing anything???
