All Volkswagen inline-four watercooled engines have the same mount points, so the diesel you want will definitely fit. It will work so long as you take the transmission from the donor car too. If you use a gas-engine transmission with a diesel engine, the car will be REAL slow. And then there's the other problem, namely that diesel is about $1 per gallon more expensive and VW diesels don't get enough better economy to compensate for that.
87 octane regular if it is a gasoline engine. Diesel fuel if it has a diesel engine.
On the 1.8L JH engine it can be located in one of two positions; behind and below the fan, or behind the engine above the passenger CV driveaxle.
The interior light on an 87 cabriolet is located above the mirror just above the windshield.
Yes, only some of them do though.
If your engine is not a diesel engine and you put diesel fuel in it is going to smoke allot and could cause internal problems. Now if your car is a diesel engine and you put regular fuel in it it probably wont run for long, but if you just put a different grade of fuel in you will be just fine. let say your car takes premium fuel (92 octane) and you put 89 or 87 octane in it the only variable that's going to change is maybe a little performance and fuel consumption
My '85 has P175/70R13 tires.
Under the dash by the driver left foot.
what do you mean wrong fuel did you put diesel or 89 or 93 octane in it when it runs on 87
yes
If you know what you are doing you can put ANY engine that you want in it. Small are BIG block. They will all fit.
-check the engine belt there's probably a bit to much friction. try with some belt dressing to see if it stops the squealing its about 5 bucks
What engine is it? 2.5L, 2.8L, 4.0L or Diesel? What accessories do you have? What transmission (manual or auto)? Is it 4 wheel drive or 2 wheel drive?
