Standard. 1.6td's are not worth fixing when worn out, best to replace them with a 1.9td.

Many thanks.My 1.6 seems a bit smokey although it runs well enough and I don't think repair/replacement is imminent.I am looking around for an AAZ motor to get ready for that eventuality,but thought that if these pistons were oversize and the right price,a rebore might be an affordable third option.
