Diesel in a 4mo?

[PranK]

Hi all,

Is there a locally delivered oiler that will bolt into a 4Mo with minimal fuss?

This is purely curiosity at this point, though with the k's getting higher in my car, you never know ...

I know the beetle 1.9 will bolt easily into the FWD Mk4's but not sure about the 4mo's.

doesnt the 4mo engine and box bolt into the fwd... had a feeling it did.
vortex will know! lol

Hmm, I'm not sure.

I was worried about the 6speed bolting up to any of the diesels. And, as the only mk4 to come with the diesel locally (AFAIK), the Beetle was FWD.

isn't the 1.9 TDI a relatively crap oiler, and the BKD-series 2.0L TDI out of the MK5 is a much better unit?

Oh, I wasn't specifying what engine I'd prefer, I was just saying thats the only one I could think of that would be a relatively straight forward fit.

I'd prefer the BKD for sure!

but mk5 wouldnt bolt in?
the 1.9tdi polo would prob bolt in to a FWD, but yeah 4mo...?

i prob know the answer as i type this ("because i love the Bora, and the don't come OzDM in diesel") but isn't it easier and cheaper to buy a diesel?

Rebuild the 2.8L Bore it, stroke it, and add cams to it if you can afford it. But please stay away from those terrible diesel's

Why, are you afraid of torque?

I'd LOVE a 4mo diesel transplant project......go for it!!

You should try overseas and try import a diesel they were available in a 4 motion version in either golf or bora I'm not 100% but im sure I've read it somewhere. Im going to double check.
