Hi Guys,
does anyone know how hard it would be to fit a 1.9 TDi (PD110/130/150) Golf engine in a Mk5 6N2 Polo? Has anyone ever done this conversion? 1.8T seems a good conversion, but it is becoming quite common and Diesel Power is the way forward!
Any help will be appreciated, thanks alot!

What engine are you starting with?
Seen a 100PD converted to a 130PD and it was suprising how much work was needed on what seemed a simple swap to start with.

well i havent got a polo yet, just considering my options. it would be a base model, such as a MATCH or S/SE. It would probably be easier to start with the 1.4 TDI, but they do good money at the moment.
thanks!
