so is this a 1.9 DG ?
thanks for help

yes

and if you look on the engine block near the alternator.. the engine code is there

thanks kev , I did just see the DG in wiki with the lpg conversion and thought that it looked similar

Mabee,,, But air filter set up n stuff looks nuthin like mine.

Looks just like mine!

the air filter changed in 85, from the early to the late......the one in this pic is the later one, the early one has the cheaper filter element.......so i changed mine to early!!

Yep, looks just like the 1.9DG I've got, except that the pipe in the top left corner isn't on fire in my van.

So is this a late dg engine then, or is it just the air filter that's the later one? Is that the thermostat housing in the top left of the photo, instead of being on the side of the water pump?

Tony

the one in the pic is a late, yours is a early iirc

You've got a good memory!! Just out of interest, are there many differences between the late and early or is it just the air filter and t'stat housing that are different?

Tony

IIRC Tony it's just the cooling system, exhaust and air filter.

Thanks Ian.

Tony

early engines look a mess of pipes and stuff ... late ones are a lot tidier

I am so glad that someone else has had to fix the vac pipe on with cable ties.
Looks the same as my 1989 DG..even the bodges match!!!!!
