Post by: xxpenxx on 18 August 2011, 14:15

Isit possible, changing a Golf Mk4 thats petrol, and shoving a Diesel lump in instead. Or is this a hard job to get done....

About as hard/easy as any other engine swap.  But you'd need all the ecu management as well, plus gear box etc..


Best ask this in the MK4 section.

I have a Tdi, But I've damaged it, the engines fine. Hence I'm trying to think of different options.

So you have a petrol Golf and a diesel Golf?

Why not just buy a Golf diesel with a shagged engine, then swap.

You ain't going to get a Mk4 golf for much under a grand.
