1.6d - 1y engine conversion help

Post by richsaund »

Hi,
Planning on removing a clapped out 1.6d engine and replaceing it with a 1y . I'm gonna need a list of every part required for conversion as not very mechanical. Does anybody know where i can source an engine and a rough cost
:ok

Only just seen this post, have you made any progress ? I think I can point you in the right direction if you are still going ahead with the swap.

Any joy yet? I got a 1Y on friday for mine, and am now stripping the bits of the broke engine to get her back on the road. Am battling with diesel pump wiring differences though :-(
It aint pretty, but its mine :-)

Dont battle if its a bosh pump break off the black plastic box & under it is the fuel cut off solonoid valve.Connect the ignition feed wire to it .Ignore all others unless it has a solonoid for the cold start you could wire it.
