When did the VW Rabbit diesel truck come out?

Volkswagen spotted this market shift and got in on the action by introducing a vehicle that practically sipped fuel through a straw.

What kind of engine does a VW Rabbit have?

There was a 1715cc petrol engine that put out about 78hp at 5,500rpm and 88.2 pound-feet of torque for those who wanted more power though it’s doubtful how much more performance one can get in a pickup with an engine that had less than 100hp. Volkswagen also offered a Rabbit Pickup with a 1.6 turbo-diesel engine but not for the American market.

Can you use the 1982 VW wiring diagram?

You may be able to use the 82 diagram, unless the 81 to 82 model year is when they switched from the old ‘ceramic’ style fusebox. If that’s the case, it’ll be different. I just don’t remember the changeover year off the top of my head. FYI, these diagrams match the 1981 model as well. Thank you for the contribution. Appreciate very much!
