Found this, if it has not come up before on the forum- might be useful for 1.6d engine owners

cheers

Also quote pertinant for 1.7s though the injector pump is diferent.

Before I look at it does it explain how to take out that awful engine and put one in that will actually move a van at a more than geological speed?

Surely that's the only sensible thing to do with the 1.6 or 1.7 Nastily Aspirated engine?

its the only thing to do with a diesel........
its not nateral, like square crisps.......

I thought this talk of Donkey dervs was botox





then i drove one


two words

Massey Ferguson

I like square crisps.

I don't like diesels (drove them for too long from an early age).

ergo diesels are not like square crisps.

They're much worse.

Even modern ones. I had to drive an automatic TDI Sharalaxambra around the UK for the last three days. Two words:

London Taxi.

Oooh, not fair.

I hope Louey comes and moderates the lot of you

1.6 & 1.7 n/a are crapolla - not saying my 1.9 is a racing machine but I can overtake things (and not just milk floats or bicycles)

Ah poo, you were my only hope.

I overtook something yesterday, granted I think it may have been some kind of blind drivers for charity thing but it was a modern car not just a tractor dontcha know!

Much as it probably makes me a bigger target for scorn I chose my 1.7. I'm almost as scared of the potential mechanical failures of those fangled turbo things as I am of VCs and Diff Locks and the like and I wouldn't know one end of a petrol engine from the other. At least with what I have I have some hope of understanding what's wrong with it. So far it gets me there and it doesn't cost me much, that's all I ever asked.

i have to say my 1.6td is anything but slow..maybe i own the exeption to the rule i dunno...

You blatantly have low expectations, Rob!

I've had a 1.6TD - vs the 2.1 it was slow, even when replaced with an SB with the intercooler fitted.

maybe your right thomas.as ive never driven a 2.1 i wouldnt know.but im happy with it at the moment.maybe if i had a drive in a 2.1.it would change my mind...

Heheh, you're welcome to a drive of the green bus any time, mate..... careful though - the ravingmusthaves are catching

cheers mate i may take you up on that sometime soon....
