Volkswagen 1.0D – Dutch-registered VW vans of the 1.0 diesel capacity class, 45 to 57 kW per type designation, 1,560 to 2,040kg kerb weight
The VW 1.0D collective page covers Dutch-registered Volkswagen vans whose type designation refers to the 1.0-litre diesel capacity class; the model names state power levels from 45 to 57 kW and the suffix AUT. for the automatic gearbox. Classification by capacity class was common practice in the Dutch RDW register for small diesel engines in Volkswagen's commercial line-up and made it easier for registration offices and workshops to match engine and spare parts.

The register lists 6 versions with four- or five-cylinder engines, kerb weights of 1,560 to 2,040kg, gross vehicle weights of 2,515 to 2,640kg and widths of 1,840 to 2,030mm.
As a small diesel variant in Volkswagen's commercial line-up, the 1.0D served trades and courier firms in the Netherlands, where registrations by engine capacity class were common practice, competing with comparable small diesels from Citroën, Renault and Fiat. Low fuel consumption and compact outer dimensions also made it a practical choice for couriers and small trade businesses in the dense traffic of Dutch town centres.
When buying: check the injection pump and glow plugs, corrosion on the load floor and wheel arches, the clutch and gear linkage, the brakes after sustained delivery use, and the condition of the door seals and load floor covering; spare parts run through the VW commercial vehicle trade, more thinly for older engines.
