VW 1600cc (1.6) Turbo Diesel

Discover the Power of VW's Turbo Diesel Engines. VW 1600cc Turbo Diesel engines are a blend of performance and efficiency. Each engine is meticulously sourced from running vehicles in Germany, ensuring quality and reliability. We bring these powerhouses directly to you, priced competitively based on mileage, Euro vs. Dollar purchase rates, and additional features.

The Volkswagen Golf 1.6 Turbo Diesel belongs to the Typ 330 (A3) model family from Volkswagen. Its 1.6 litre engine is a turbocharged, single overhead camshaft, 4 cylinder that develops 70 bhp (71 PS/52 kW) of power at 4500 rpm, and maximum torque of 133 N·m (98 lb·ft/13.6 kgm) at 2600 rpm. 5 speed manual transmission.  Maximum stated speed is 160 km/h (99 mph).

Versatile Applications

These engines find their purpose in various VW applications, including Jetta, Passat, Golf, Cabrio, Rabbit, VANAGON, and the Caddy. Their adaptability makes them a popular choice for conversions, including the well-loved Samurai conversions.

Fuel-Efficient Eco Version

The VW 1600cc Turbo Diesel ECO version, while slightly slower in acceleration, stands out for its exceptional fuel efficiency. By omitting the load enrichment valve on the injection pump, it optimizes fuel usage—an ideal choice for those mindful of their gas mileage. Notably, they're compatible with alternative fuels like Biodiesel or vegetable oil, giving you eco-friendly options.

The High Output Powerhouse

At the peak of the TD series, we present the VW 1900cc Turbo Diesel High Output version. Originally featured in the Golf GTD and the Passat, this engine embodies power and sophistication. Equipped with an intercooler and a water-cooled turbo, it offers the potential to be easily tuned up to 100 HP. For those in need, we offer intercoolers separately.
