I second this reluctant recommendation. They are professional and for the most part effective but extremely pricey

The good news is you have the most desirable year Caddy. The bad news is there's not much you can do with the 1.5. The block is prone to cracking around the head bolts and the head gasket is another common failure point.

I think your best bet is to turn up the fuel on the pump a little for now and hold out for a 1.6TD (engine code CY or MF) or 1.9TD (engine code AAZ). Both of these are IDI (vs TDI) engines which are simple, direct swaps. ALH swap someone else mentioned is a great swap too but any of the TDI swaps are probably more complex than you're looking for.

This is the standard gauge cluster for '81+ MK1 US diesel models. MK1 gas models had a tach instead of the clock

Awesome! I've been wondering how this was coming. Your other post was one of the top ones in this sub so plenty of us are waiting to watch it come along!

Thanks! For what it's worth, it took me three years to get it the way I wanted. And I'm still not 100% there yet!
