Recently ordered a belt kit from Rod for the (new to me) TQC. He said it needed an idler, to which I told him it did not have one. Since the car is somewhat disassembled I thought he was probably right. While trying to loosen the cam bolt, I put the old belt on to hold the cam, and discovered that the belt is long enough for only the water pump. Not an idler pulley. Figured I would check the engine number, only to find the block number bar is blank. I cleaned it with every solvent I own and wire brushed it with intense light at all directions, and its _blank_(I know they're faint, but it is blank!). The chassis number is also confusing in that it shows an engine code (numbers 7 & 8) of 85 which doesn't fit the normal numbering nomenclature. The VIN is: WAUDC0853DA900610 The "D" indicates a 4k 4 dr wagon, and the "85" engine designation isn't on the chart I downloaded from Euroselect. Anyone have an idea what I've got here? Peter ,(PO) said the car was Canadian in origin, and has no sunroof, if that makes a difference. I'm not overly concerned about a number matching collector or anything. I only want a fun daily driver. I would however like to know for reasons of parts and specs what I'm dealing with. Dennis Graber 91,100 85 CGT 83 TQC??
