On a turbo Diesel installation it makes sense to move the turbo
oil return line up above the pan.

On the 1.9l TD engine this is already cared for. In the picture below
you can see the oil return entering the block centrally just below
the waste gate.

In a 1.6l TD you would have to arrange for the return yourself,
like Jack Ewald did in this picture:
