Some 1.9 diesel engine conrod specs. 1Y IDI NA = 150mm long, gud pin 24mmAAZ IDI TD = 144mm long, gud pin 26mm1Z TDI = 144mm long, gud pin 26mm I investigated a longer conrod rod for the petrol engines a while back. Here is some more info on CGTI. http://www.clubgti.com/forum/showthread.php?t=222440
probably shorter rods for a longer stroke but keeping the same deck height?

My local garage just replaced a 3 cylinder TDI engine in a Polo. It looks like a shorter PD engine judging by the cam cover.Apparently it had been run with a duff injector that eventually filled the sump with diesel till it went runaway and boom.If the old engine does not need to go back as an exchange I will try to grab it for dissection.
There is a 1.5 idi that's has been converted to a tdi with all factory vw parts.
