1984 Vw Jetta Turbo Diesel 4 door - clean - needs work - nebraska

[vwsnaps]

1984 JETTA DIESEL 1.6
Was originally non-turbo - converted using k04 eclipse turbo

i traded this car for a mk3 vr6 i had - now i am moving and dont have time to sort it

head gasket leaks oil - out front of head - under the 3rd injector / glow plug line ( there is some silicone there in an attempt to stop it ) it fires up and drives but obviously cant drive it with it leaking oil.

180k on odometer - turbo conversion been on for a year maybe, according to previous owner.
body is super clean for its age - no rot / rust - non sunroof - clean interior as well.
has some affordable coil-overs - not sure of brand.

$2000 OBRO - might trade for something that goes under it own power already that doesnt need work.

Located in Nebraska

Gingers old whip?

I would say yes, seeing how he traded it for a mk3 VR6

[vwsnaps]

just ordered almost $500 worth of parts to fix it ( including the diesel timing tools that i did not have )

[Dane]

yeah it would be a straight trade.

[vwsnaps]

Parts are here tomorrow finally.. Busy weekend but hope to have this done by next weekend

[vwsnaps]

i got an mk3 tdi jetta - today - and mk1 caddy diesel with bad motor..

Too many choices....

[vwsnaps]

almost ready to fix this and get it running and driving again

[Nevr]

probably should then

[Digital K]

after all you could likely flip it for more if you fix it...
