I had a 1984 as well, I bought in California back in 1988, the car has low mileage and kept for almost 4 years but I've missed that car all these years that I'm thinking of getting another one, it was a black body blue interior with gold bbs wheels. Great car and I'm looking again

@Long Automotive did you follow any particular guide for doing the swap? I haven't been able to find very much on the 'how to' aspect of the swap.

@longautomotive 9 күн бұрын

The majority of what I used s&p performance has as tutorials on KZbin. Just that, various forum searches, and the Bentley wiring diagram got it done

You are going to ruin the suspension, get an IPD kit with the lowered springs and have it actually handle corners, it won't be dropped to the ground, but it will handle like a race car.

We drove by you today. My daughter really liked your car. So I geeked out a bit about how common a swap is for it. Even googled swapped volvo 240s. And this popped up. We are both impressed. She might want to build one as her first car. Great ride.

I like it and would keep the grill original. I tried to get a used VW rabbit for my first car, but my father said no way, and since he was paying I didn't get it. I do like them and wish VW would make a retro rabbit. Similar cars are the Plymouth Horizon and Dodge Omni. I like those too 🐰✌🏻❤💋

I rebuilt an 80 rabbit sedan just for the experience of it and that's where my love of diesels began. Currently driving an 01 TDI Beetle with 335,000 miles in the clock all put on by me. Most reliable car I've ever owned and still starts even in 0F winter. Latest mpg was 51.4 if I behave. I'd love to find a truck like that just for fun.

This is the same drivetrain as your beetle! Currently 47mph but tuned up a bit of course

@davidcrowell6026 2 ай бұрын

I like it! Keep em alive. My high school car was a 1981 Caddy diesel. It was a lemon. Clutches and head gaskets. Rust in the bed led to lots of water in the cab. I still liked it. Next was a 1986 GTI that ended up fast an got me in trouble. That was early 90s. A 1975 scirocco also.

I'm rebuilding my 1800ES, try to made a video every week or so. Doing a fair bit of rust repair and making patch panels. For phase I, I'm just building a spicy B20 motor with a modern ECU and coil pack ignition. Phase II, I'll probably go with a turbo B230 with custom intake / charge cooler. So, if you have any questions, LMK.

How are you getting on with this set up a year or so down the line? Any idea on what mpg you’re getting with the stage 4 tune? I’m going to be doing a 1Z tdi swap into a mk1 Caddy but using the ALH management and vnt etc. It’s a workshop truck so I’m after some real-world views on this kind of thing. Stock 90hp is a bit gutless. I drive a 110hp pd daily and that’s pretty dull too. I’ve heard that some people are disappointed with the more conservative tunes…

@longautomotive 3 ай бұрын

Looking at right at 47mpg. Honestly the only thing I don't love are the tires, but I love the wheels so idk what to do about that yet. It could really stand a larger tire for the interstate to lower the engine speed. It could also really do with more grip. In the dry it will spin in first and second, and in the wet it spins in fourth LOL. I flatly refuse to lower it, so I may do nothing, time will tell. Otherwise though, yeah it's great. I work from home but try to drive it every day for errands and stuff.

@robinlaker 3 ай бұрын

@@longautomotive thanks so much! That’s decent mpg! Maybe a LSD would be the answer, not a cheap option though. Have you looked at swapping out 5th gear to get lower rpm? Depending on what gearbox code you’re using with the engine and the diff ratio etc, it can make a big difference. I believe my 02a gearbox has a 3.1 final drive so fifth gear at 70mph should be 2300 rpm.
