we have a syncro Doka 16 with 1Z/AHU 1.9Tdi - me and my son don't feel the
power is adequate for the weight of the vehicle... unless there's something
wrong with the engine - the compression is good, new head but still lack of
power... we will give it one more chance soon such as new injectors, new
turbo and fuel pump and we will see from there... we are considering a more
modern engine such as Boxeer... but the price is quite stiff with shipping
and installation... I am thinking 2.5 Subaru but my son wants to keep it
original with diesel engine.
