Diesel codes & years

Can anyone help, I'm hopefully looking at a 89 diesel at the weekend & was wondering what type of engine it should be.
Did the CS/KY & JX engines all go up to 1989 ???

Should have asked the guy really...


I've tried looking online but with no joy....

CS was discontinued by then, could be a KY 1.7n/a or a JX 1.6t.
Most likely to be a JX, a lot more of them about compared to the KY.
Of course a CS (or a 1Y etc) could have been swopped in by now.

The jx engine is a good engine I would look to see if you can repair that first

So would a 94 golf have the AAZ engine? I've seen 1 not too far away for sale.....
Also would the log book say it has the aaz, thought I might message them 1st before I go for a look....

Yes the log book would have it on but to make sure there should be the number on the engine I thinks is below the third injector on the block look for a long flat spot and it's stamped on there it's also on the plastic timing belt cover where the bar code is but still check the engine
