Hey guys so this week I found myself a 1989 diesel golf with a 5 Spd transmission
I've been wanting a diesel Volkswagen ever since I drove around in my uncles MKIII TDI GOLF with mods
Either way I was online and found this beastly beauty she's a little rough but I'm here to put some more life back into her im hoping I didn't buy a complete lemon but this is what I can tell you until the weekend when i pick it up and bring it home.
1989 VW GOLF 1.6L Diesel with 5 Spd transmission
Use to be white but some one has taken the time to rattle can paint job it black to spruce it up..
I'm not to concerned I checked around the body to see what f my hand would go threw
It has a wooing 577,000km supposedly a recent water pump fairly good tires 8/32 I got on my my gauge has air bubbles in the fuel line when you rev it up you can see them burns a bit of oil it has smoke out the tail pipe but I think I can help that with a good tune up
Thing I worried about is that the engine lacks power and I hoping either its a slipping clutch or the air in the fuel line took it for a test drive and hardly got it to 60-70 and sputtering
Any ideas im all ears im usually a GM guy but I'm wanting to learn something new and I'm eventually leaning towards turbo diesel
Thinking about going to the scrap yard and getting or trying to find useable parts for upgrades
Turbos down pipes wheels front windshield grill. I'm also looking for some cheap coil overs for esthetic purposes then track purposes im all ears either way I have some ideas and looking for the communities thoughts on parts and repairs and whatever else any good sites for CANADIAN USERS for parts
I'm not looking to dump loads of cash but just have a sweet ride
How did I do GOLDEN or LEMON
Cheers!
