Hi :)

I am looking at VW Passat 1.9 1993 cars, TD would work quiet well? Any experience? And what about TDI?

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to biopowered.

That depends which variation on the 1.9 is in there - if it's a Pumpe Duse engine then no (biodiesel only), otherwise yes :)

1993 will be a non PD (Pump Deuce). PD will have been a pipe dream by a 12yr old German back then. A 1993 will be suitable for veg or bio.
