Tdi or idi in the '97? Here they were both available. The idi is and easy swap, the Tdi is possible but more work. It will bolt up, but running the electronic fuel pump is some work. THe other possibility is using a mechanical fuel pump on your TDI, do a search here and you'll find lots of info. Good luck!

Itll bolt in yes, but youll probably need to jiggle some wires about.
is your Golf a diesel already?

the 1.9 will fit. not exactly plug and play but it will hook up to all the regular mounting stuff.
