I have just bought a 90 4c sw dt I have no idea what engine is in it.i bought it none running the engine look very clean . Clock says 44000 but I don't believe that but . Anyway is there anyway to tell what engine is in it and if it is the original what bhp were these or is it better to replace with a 200tdi/300.I don't think the engines a gonner it very clean the young lad I got it from has been mucking about with it. So are these engines any good or is 4days till 40mph.

Thanks in advance andy

Best to show us a photo of the engine. If it is a non turbo 2.5 N/A, they are strong and can last a long time, but acceleration will seem slow compared to a modern car. In good order, a top speed of 60mph can be expected, but it will take a while to get there, and it will struggle to hold 50 on any kind of a hill. A TDI conversion will transform the performance to close to that of a modern car, although these were never designed to be high speed cruisers.

Look here and it will tell you what you need.
If you can get it to run, keep it original assuming it is original.
200tdi upgrade if buggered.

its a 19j 2.5 TD, can be realiable if looked after! but I would personally rip it out and fit a 200tdi.

19j's are renound to run on there own oil and blow up
