MK1 TDI?

it's my dream car to build a 130hp diesel mk1 perfect for uni cruising and so cheap to run

does anyone know if you need the keys for an engine with ecu and everything….. does the ecu have a built in immobiliser ?

Look in Autotrader in the breakers section , if there is a mention of "NO" keys with a mk4 the price drops by ????? instantly . I would think its possible to drop a TDI in a MK1 but i would bet it would be very expensive .

i think i could do all the work myself with my dad shouldn't be a problem with that or wiring as i used to work doing motorsport wiring

i take it the keys are the only thing that's a must then ?

bit of a bugger that is unless vw can program a set given the ecu number ?

when I was last at my local dealer someone needed a new key for they're passat, think the guy in parts said it was something like ?45 but they needed the car in to prgoram the key in… might be worth a trip to your local dealer and have a chat with someone about it for future reference
