So to make the Buick dealers happy they started importing Isuzus and badging them as Opels.

I knew a guy that had one of these. Very, very slow, but he claimed he got 45 mpg.

All Chevettes were made in Brazil and you could get them with a diesel engine there. Perhaps someone imported one?

Still, I think if you look for an Isuzu service manual you will find the help you need.
Yes they did. Just google chevette diesel and you'll find all the pictures you can gag on

Try isuzupup.com.

Questions about Chevette diesels come up there occasionally, and there are a few guys on there who know the pumps.

does anyone know if any of these were turbo at all? It's on my list of things to find out. a turbo would help the noise level too...

The Pup trucks had a larger 2.2l engine. None came stock with a turbo but while browsing, I found a nice long thread where a guy turbo'd his Opel with the same engine.

I believe it was on a VW forum.

So you didn't go through with the plan to fit an OM616 to the train?

I was overruled by a hydraulics engineer who thought his system would be far superior.... Not happy about it but whats done is done. I'm going to be building a Mercedes Railbus instead. More fun and it's my own project. Nobody to tell me no...

That's basically a Bosch VE pump made under license.

Here's a typical Bosch pump rebuild, if it helps any , from a VW:

You might get some help from one of the old VW forums, like:

A plethora of diesel Chevette information. Whoulda thunk it?

Thanks, I appreciate the links they are very helpful

Pooka 07-12-2011 05:54 PM
And I want to say thanks for pointing out the Chevy diesel info.

Any day I learn something new is a good day.

Pooka 07-12-2011 06:02 PM
Well, I just did some reading up on this Chevy. Turns out it was not sold with A/C, so I guess that is why no dealer in Texas would carry one.

MPG seems to be about 42 with normal driving at 55 mph, so I will just stick with my 1992 2.5 liter 300D which gets 36 mpg at 70 mph with the A/C on.

Still... It is fun to know about these things.

Aquaticedge 07-12-2011 10:20 PM
I dont know where this engine came from... the pan has been Tapped and capped so It looks like a oil feed line or a return or something, It's just odd... I'm going to see what I can find to retrofit one on this, a little holset or something would do nicely
