Title: Hello, was there a 1.9 Diesel?
Post by: Shady Pioneer on 29 March 2009, 23:54: Hello guys and gals.

My Mum came home from Bristol today saying her friends are 99% selling a MK2 Golf that has been owned by a posh older lady most of it's life, point being, it's a 1.9 Diesel, or so they say. I'm not sure of any other details atm, like colour etc but I was thinking, if it's in good nick, would it be worth grabbing, and then maybe eventually doing a conversion? I'd intend to get it looking sexy basically, keep it in my parents garage getting it upto scratch.

Price = £200 (I think). Thoughts?

+1
Diesel mk2s seem to change hands for silly money and if it's in good nick could be quids in. Check out Simon Coopers white mk2.

Post by: Martz on 30 March 2009, 18:30: I have a 1.6TD 5 door model with the incooler located on the top of the engine, which is the rare one. All of them were 1600 and the non turbo's were gutless. The TD is not a bad performer and returns excellent MPG. My on is the SD engine code and it has been a good little car.

It is in the for sale section for only £550! Absolute steal. Cash needed to fund my 328i Ragtop! :cool:

Post by: Diamond Hell on 30 March 2009, 19:29: 1.9 AAZ TD from a G3 is an easy transplant and a better motor than the 1.6 GTD (RA or SB code) motors IMO - I've run both in T25s.

Personally I wouldn't bother trying to make money on cars at the moment, especially at this close-to-scrap end of the market.

Where you located? :) This car would be absolutely perfect for my brother (and I'd love it too :p ) but we're up at Durham/Newcastle.
