If you have a careful look at the engine blocks near that glow plug bus bar loop and water pipe location you will see a machined strip with small faint letters/numbers, you will then have a clearer idea of which engines you have. I gather that the 1Y may or may not be fitted with the piston squirte...

Sorry to jump on this thread, is the 1Y the same one you were selling a few weeks ago? If it is and you aren't using it I'd be interested in buying, did PM previously but no reply. Perhaps you could drop me a message, thanks. Hi yes it is. I sent details to the mobile number you supplied but didnt ...

As I said you will have to read the engine numbers to know what they are. 2nd pic shows a 1.6 NA engine - the block should have TD cast into it if it were a turbo normally. If you can't be bothered to read the engine numbers you will have to check the blocks internally to see if the piston cooling ...

I think that you ought to read the engine codes on those engines and find out exactly which ones you have. Perhaps you could tell me what they are from the pics. 1st 2 are what i know as a jx 1.6 Gtd engine https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4646/38551134055_e028c0d580_k.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr....

JX engines were turbo - do you mean CS engines which were NA (naturally aspirated)?

Its the jx engine from a mk2 golf gtd, hence Gtd jx. Runs a different inj pump as well.

Well it would work, but why do it? What's wrong with the " jx" turbo,pump etc? I have 2 spare non turbo 1.6 jx engines and & 1y 1.9 non turbo engine. I have also got a 1.6 gtd jx turbo motor, I was just thinking if the bits off the turbo motor would work on other non turbo motors that...

Is it possible to bolt all the necessary turbo gtd parts to a none turbo 1.6 jx engine and would it work ?

My speedo packed up today on the way back from Weston-S-Mare. I recon its a cable fault (snapped). As there seems to be an option on the outer.
Slide on or Screw on depending on which type fitted.
My question is can I just swap the inner if I buy the incorrect option.

Having previously owned a bay and a splitty some years ago, and finding the vw show scene becoming an over inflated rip off, with more drugs and Vauxhall novas turning up then, we decided to sell up and moved on into other interests. Well 12yrs passes and i'm looking through evil bay and notice this...
