This is my engine in my kombi. I am not really sure what it is. All i was told is that it is a 1600 ti! what is the ti bit? and is there anything else special or notable about it? Twin or ...

Thanks everyone

TP not TI.

Twin port. Standard kombi engine...

Just the air-cleaner has been changed from the horrible massive old oil bath jobbies

it looks like a twin port but hard to tell for this angle what do the manifold ends look like? if they are are a narrow and one pipe its a single but if its got a notch in the middle it a twin.

Right, not sure, cant check now either, But if thats how you tell i think i'm pretty set now... thanks.

Single port manifolds look considerably different. They are twin port manifolds .

yep looks like a twin port. from what I know single ports had a one piece manifold rather than end castings and rubber bits.

Whats special about it ?

Chrome tinware !
Degreed aluminium pulley !!

Shiny aftermarket air filter :) !

Aftermarket Bosch ignition coil

Alternator too if I'm not mistaken.....

Looks like a nice tidy engine.

yeah looks tidy. alternator with alternator fuel pump. That GT40 coil isnt much different from a normal one. i got one too!

If it's the original engine for the vehicle it's a 1600 twin port.Must be a late model because it has a booster for the brakes.Put some caps over those fresh air outlets on your fan housing-you will need all that wasted air when the weather warms up.

Got down to see the kombi this weekend and took it for a nice scenic drive. Feel like i've had a weekend now.

Not sure what you mean about that, sorry. Borrowed a digi cam so got a couple of other pics. Runs a real treat. Starts no worries even though it has not had much attention at all for about a month (unfortunately).

Cheers

Has an alternator and an oil temp sender. What's the vacuum hose coming out of the manifolds for?
