I'm dealing with rebuilding a 1.5D in a 1985 Vw Golf.
Yes I know that it would have came with a 1.6- but the block just has a "D" on it and the wrist pins are 22mm not 24. Making it a 1.5. Looks like who ever had it blew up the 1.6 and got cheap.
The connecting rods are different sizes in the motors as well and that's where my headache comes in.
The only pistons I can find are made for the 24mm wrist pins. So that leaves me with the options:
- Remove the crank put in the 1.6 one and use the connecting rods/pistons for the 1.6.
- Use the old pistons (which are scored and have marks on them) clean them up the best I can, use new rings and call it it day.
Any one know of resources that supply 1.5 components? I work for a shop and all I can find is 1.6/ 1.9 stuff.
