Has there ever been a reason Porsche/VW speced L-jet injection for the 1.8 engines instead of D-jet like the 1.7 and 2.0 engines used?
Usually when manufactures do this there are financial reasons for the change. Either they have the same engine on other vehicles they produce, or its just cheaper to use whatever part is being used. But Porsche didn't use the T4 motor on other cars at the time. And if it was cheaper, they would have done away with Djet on the 1.7 and 2.0. I don't think VW was using l-let at the time for the bus... but maybe? There has to be a reason that Porsche wanted Ljet on the 1.8. Zach |

Djet came out 1970 or earlier
Ljet didn’t come out until 74 Volkswagen was going that direction And it was the new technology Plus the 1.8 was sourced from vw Probably what vw was already going towards and what came on the motors when they contracted with vw |
