TDi engine version
Hi guys.
My first post on the forum so hello everyone.
Had a few mk1's down the years but moved on from them a while back.
Looking to return back to the scene and want something different.
Im a big fan of the 150 gtdi engine and was wondering if it can go in a mk1.
Ive heard people say it is possible. If so is it a big job ?
My local mechanic is into golfs and mentioned to me a few years back that he love to do it for himself.
However, if its complex id rather get it done properly. Is there companies out there that can do it ? Im near aberdeen.
The idea would be to buy a really good complete mk1 and buy the diesel engine seperate.
I should have between 5-6k to spend initially.
Replies appreciated.

Cheers for the replies guys sorry ive been away.
It is the 150 tdi engine out of a mk4 id want to go in cause i plan to get it chipped to 190.
Im needing some finer details ie.
Will engine fit straight it.
What about the electrics ?
Brakes, suspension etc ?
Just need some details so i can discuss it better with my mechanic.
Is there anyone that does this conversion proffesionally as i might go down this route. Travelling isnt a problem

Sounds a great idea but the electrics would probebly be the biggest headache.I have put the 1zTDI engine in my Mk1 out of a 94 Passat [90]hp and that goes very well.Apart from modifying the cam cover so that you can bolt on the engine mount it will fit ok.The electrics arn,t to bad.The PD engine is a completely different block altogether and would be a whole new ball game.But I guess if you are prepaired to pay anything is possible .Baller

I wouldn't dismiss the later (99-03 ish), lower power non-PD Tdi's (the 90 and 110 bhp versions used in several VW's / Seats). It's possible to tune these to close to / more than the 200bhp mark without touching the internals. Bigger turbo, larger injector nozzles and custom remap (not just a chip) are the key. Would be loads easier to fit something like an ALH engine - mechanical fuel pump instead of the electronically controlled pumps for each injector on the PD, simpler immobiliser to work with (transponder ring around the ignition barrel and chip in the ignition key), etc, etc, etc. You can also find cheap Seat donor cars too !

You do realise one of these engines would thoroughly beat any small block engined car???? And probably give a stock GTI a run for its money too.

I reckon these should stay in estate cars and 4x4's

There you go Bert/Rov, the challenge has been laid down. Can you do the 1/4 mile in less than a day? PS, the timing gear trips off after 45 secs.
