Petrol to diesel conversion

[westfaliashop]

Could someone point me in the direction of a good thread for this as I'm sure there must be plenty on here, I just can't seem to find them!

I have a 1.9 petrol with 5 speed box which I'm looking at converting to a 1.9tdi so just want to have a look at a couple of threads and work out which way to go and work out what I'll need for my shopping list!

My main drive for doing this is I use WVO in my car and would like to run the van on it so I'm looking at a pre-PD engine.

Anybody?

This is one, but it's not for everyone and I'd go upright next time, but it's worked very well since I installed it in 2012.

E D I T. is not petrol-to-diesel as such, you'd have to buy the diesel-specfic engine-mountings, sump and plumbing. You can get all the factory drawings of how it fits together, part numbers and so on off partsbase.org which has a 'mirror' of the data in the VW ETKA software.

Cheers for the reply.

There's been a slight change in plan as I've picked up a Felicia straight 1.9 diesel with low miles and, as my quest is good mpg and be able to use my WVO.

In light of this, I have the complete car so can poach parts off the loom etc.

I've also bought the cradles, sumo and oil pick up so, I'm getting somewhere!

Not sure about fitting a sumo, a lot of extra weight.

I presume that it's an AEF engine. Good choice! I changed my 1.6 diesel to the AEF and it's good. It will work well with the petrol gearbox ratios too.

You may have found it already, but there's a complete guide to fitting the AEF engine at http://www.brick-yard.co.uk/forum/16cs- ... KW=#413096" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

We did 2500 miles round Portugal last year and managed 36.5 MPG overall.

You will need a standard diesel dipstick and tube.

Any questions just ask.

Good luck!

I'll take the sumo if your not using it?

Ah!

After all this, I've gone and found another van, exactly what I want and diesel and saves a whole load of work! I just need to flog my van original now.....
