Go look at tdiclub.com there's a few Audi conversions being worked right now. I'm considering this myself, but it's not a bolt-in. I want a diesel wagon, but I also want AWD... not sure if it's better to put a Syncro drivetrain into a Passat TDI wagon, or do the TDI into an Audi Avant... The Audis are nicer cars all-around.
MJF, you're saying the motor will bolt right up. Is there any clearance issues? I guess once a 1.9 is in there it will be pretty roomy. Motor mounts would definitely have to be custom. I assume the tranny can take the torque, how about the stock clutch though?

Otherwise, there is more room in B4 engine bay than in B5. V6 flywheel and clutch will not fit to 4cyl, youŽll need 4cylinder ones. Easiest would be if you find longitudal tdi.
I know they came stock in the Audi 80/90 in Europe, but i am wondering if the audi tdi was different in some major way??Anyone know of any B4 90's that have been converted in this way?For extra info on the car it is a 93 90cs quattro sport, 2.8 v6Love the car but missin havin serious torque
There's a guy on the TDIClub who lives in Toronto who has an early 90's I-5 2.5L TDI engine complete. $2500 I think was his asking price.
QuoteThere's a guy on the TDIClub who lives in Toronto who has an early 90's I-5 2.5L TDI engine complete. $2500 I think was his asking price.It won't be early 90s if it's a TDI. If it's a 2.4, 2,500 is a bit much unless it is freshly rebuilt or something. Do you have a link? I would love to have another one to go with my 2.0TD and 2.5TDI projects.
