I should get out more , but i am sure it was advertised on ebay as a 1043cc engine but the engine in it is a MPI engine which I'm sure is an NZ code 1.3

I need one of these! He means it's not a 1043cc (1.0) looks like a GT or NZ, either way got yoself a nice 1.3 mpi van there!

Beat me to it

Sounds like a bonus, could do with some more help to help identify what the egine is exactly ?

The log book says 1043cc, and the dealer who sold it me also told me it was.

Here is a picture of the engine after a few hours of cleaning and painting.

looks like a mpi engine to me! you can see the red wire for the injectors

My brother had a mk3 polo last year and he said the injectors were a strange addition, he had the 1.3 coupe but we just put the engine differences down to it being a 1.0 and slightly older so didnt bat an eyelid at it

I personally havnt drove it yet as my dad drove it home and I'm not yet 17 so couldnt say anything about the performance.

Its a nz , brown sticker on the ecu i am sad

no way haha cheers for that!

I got one of these recently! But the guy said there was 500?

Mines a 1.0 litre though :/

The ecu is bosch management, and it also has a5 speed box. The white(ish) container on the right is apparently a hydrogen fuel saver

I have heard that figure quoted before , i have a mk2 van wether it includes mk2 and mk2f I'm not sure , and they were all 1043 cc from the factory i think.

I see! Its nice to know some history! As for wheels, i have smores waiting to go on. Major inspiration from portsmouthbmx's van. Check it out!

i have actauly seen his :)

the bulkhead was the first thing out haha :biggrin:

Nah mines literally completely stripped ahah!

jackembe" What have you done in the back of yours? atm I'm thinking of just carpeting it all out

If anyone can do me photos of the floor section i would be very grateful :-D mine is missing

I've done nothing to it yet, i'll probably just board it and carpet. Try and bring the noise level down abit!

If i ever do enough work to grant it a build thread i'll stick some pics up!

Make a new what?...bulkhead?

What plans you got for it anyway?
