I used to run those. My catastrophic failure was the pinion gear coming out of mesh with the steering rack when I was trying to turn in a 4-way intersection. Those were normally aspirated pure mechanical diesels except for the fuel shut off solenoid. They were slow, but 50mpg was possible. Then came the early TDI version & you got much better power with the same MPG. Then things got more complicated & performance suffered. Then diesel-gate happened & now VW will not import diesels to the US anymore.
I bought this 1965 GTO from my brother in 1971. 53 years later it still looks like it will run 100 mph quarter mile. The Triumph is a 2002 Bonneville America, still looking like a classic. A 2002 Thunderbird, that looks like a classic and drives like a sports car should. Convertible with a removable hard top…

Until I get the Chevelle back home, here's the other fast car.
2015 Hellcat Challenger with a 6 speed. It should be illegal how fun this car is to drive. Now if I could figure out the wiring issue that kills the battery in 2 hours flat, I can start driving it regularly again.
Back in the Dark Old Days, when I was going to a trade school, we received a donation of a VW Rabbit diesel that had been to the Moon and back, several times. Body was falling apart, transmission was trashed. We put the engine on the stand for a class tear-down and re-assembly instructional aid. Once we had her guts on the bench, and began the inspection and measurement phase, we determined that all she needed was a new oil pump (just for peace of mind), new rings (cylinders still showed crosshatch) and new gaskets. Was my first introduction to aluminum crank bearing inserts: I'm sold on THAT method! :)
All in all, the Rabbit diesel is one tough beast!
