mk1 golf gti dx engine into a mk1 caddy diesel
I have everything as i have both cars next to each other. I have carried out a 1.8t conversion into my mk1 golf but what are the differences with putting the DX engine into a mk1 diesel caddy?
All the mounts are the same, im going to swap the entire dash and engine loom over, but the only thing im thinking about is the fuel side of things converting from diesel to petrol.
Will i have to swap the diesel system out for the k jet system?

the fuel tanks are the same for petrol and diesel but they dont have a lift pump like the gti.
i have a caddy sport and that has a flat plate in front of the drivers side rear wheel that the fuel pump and accumulator mount to. there is no lift pump in this either so you should be ok
the pump is the same as gti and you should be able to swap your fuel lines and use the mk1 golf pump loom you will need to weld the metering head mount in and move your washer bottle to behind the drivers side headlight
you will need to swap the exhaust downpipe at least and mid section will fit but they are different when you get to the back end.
also id swap the brakes and fit the front anti roll bar

tbh easier to swap the tank then mess about cleaning it, petrol cars really hate diesel
you'll probably want the rear beam off anyway to swap the rear roll bar over, so may as well have that off fr full refurb, tank off, all lines etc then just fit to the diesel. then sell all diesel stuff as complete conversion kit for someone else

So i might be able to get away with using the diesel side of things like tank, lines etc if i clean them?

they rust badly on the top so it may be hard to remove and its hard to find a good replacement as nobody makes anything.
when i took mine off and started cleaning it i found a few rust holes so just used petro patch and lots of paint.
