Petrol Engine Into A Diesel?

Recommended Posts

Anyone done this?

 

How hard is the wiring or does it just unplug from the fusebox? (it's a TU engine)

 

Obviously tank and lines have to be changed but that's all easy.

If you have the complete loom from the petrol car it shouldnt be that hard a swap. It should simply just replace the diesel loom. (Well at least this is what I can see between my GT and a GTi, I can't see the diesel being any different) The speedo and clutch cables could be different as they mate to a BE box and not an MA. Also little things like the instrument cluster.

 

Other than that, the other differences are all suspension related, but I expect you would be changing that anyway?!

Yep would be ditching all of the running gear.

 

Is it hard to change the loom (never really touched any wiring in a car.)

Not hard if the car is stripped, just soooo tedious!
