thats the link to Dieseldave's Golf Tdi Thread

 

Yeah i was following that project, some job! was thinking about a pd 130 but being in college i'm always short of cash and got a killer deal on the tdi110, probably better off without the PD engine, the tdi will be hard enough to do without all the extra complications. I must get on to him but just looking for a mk4 tdi to mk2 veteran for all the specific problems encountered. Especcially the dash issues and the fact thats its about twice as deep as the mk2's!

 

What do you mean by dash issues?
I dont think you need the dash to do the conversion, just hide the clock behind the dash or in the glovebox

 

ive never done one of these conversions but off the top of my head you will need a corrado or passat pedal box to convert properly to hydraulic clutch, you will need a pair of mk2 100mm driveshafts from a gti, these will bolt to the tdi gearbox flanges. get yourself the engine and gear box mounts from a 88-96 type turbo diesel passat, these shove the engine and box forward a little bit more and allow clearance for the turbo

Thanks a lot for that. Answered a few questions i had there. The engine just got delivered there an hour ago, minus a few parts which yer man's gonna send on, can't get over the size of it compared to the GTD. Whereabouts are you based Ronan? i've been told you put the engine in mine for Conor Kinsella. Would you be interested in this job if i sourced all the parts?

 

i would not intereseted in doing the job, i have a mk1 golf with a TT 225bhp engine on an engine stand beside it for over a year now and i havent time to go at it

diesel dave is your man for this job

Don't worry dave, wasn't gonna ask. Sligo's a long way from me!!! Think i have someone locally to do it for me, i'll know by tomorrow. Still got a lot of bits and pieces to gather before work can begin. Might have a few questions for you though if thats alright.

Ronan - Sure i thought i might as well ask anyway! Good luck with that project, you'll have some weapon when you get that finished.

 

As Doc said, you won't need the full dashboard if you don't want to change it, just the clocks are needed. A B3 or B4 Passat peddle box should fit the bill. If you want me to check them out I have a mk2 Jetta and a B3 ('92) Passat so I can compare them if need be.

What are you doing with the old engine?

 

I too would be interested in that GTD Engine if you're going ahead with this transplant.
