      Yes Yes. It does look like a possible fit. The early TDIs look very similar to Opel/Vauxhall engines of the same era (late 80s, early 90s). Only thing I'm worried about is the transmission. If Rabbit had his way, his Aveo would be de badged for VW badges and a VR6 would be dropped in .

      The 1.7 is an Isuzu diesel I'm looking at. It's from a 1997 Vauxhall Astra, same platform the Aveo is on (GM T Platform). The only issue is the different electronics. Opel/Vauxhall use different wiring and electronics than Daewoo does.
