Hi all my uncle had a 1.6na diesel rabbit about an 82 he drove it daily till
about 99 had a bazillion miles on it he'd still have it if the cancer hadn't
taken it over all i knew was glow plugs and a timing belt was easy in my 82
1.6 na westy i had the head off for a repair and put on new belt took me
less than 3 hrs to do just need the dial indicator that screws into th rear
of injection pump i think it was. 035-.038 at tdc if memory serves me
correct my westy gets about 30mpg but a dog ob power I see an upgrade in the
future 1.9 td or a tdi if im lucky

Yes!

I think that was the same one that helped walk me through a head
change on my Dads Diesel Rabbit.

(or I took a best guess armed with a claw hammer.....   < grin > )
