1.6 TD or 1.9TD into early 90's Audi 80/90?

[studdosy]

Hi everybody,

Has any one tried this swap before?  Installing 1.6 or 1.9 TD into early 80's Audi 80 or 90.  I remember in Europe, these cars had the first TDI engine.  But finding and installing TDI is more difficult than regular TD, I thought I want to try this in a future.

Note: I heard Audi 80/90 from late 80's to early 90's have fuel tank behind rear passenger seat.  Is that's true?  That sounds like a total whack to me.

hi,

the first TDI was in the audi 100/200 a 5-cylinder with 120 HP introduced in 1989 *damn*
the first 4-cylinder was the 1Z-engine in the Audi 80 from 1992-1995

should be no problem to swap(from 4-cylinder gas engine):
just take the 12V for the igniton-coil and put it on your pump, install a steering-box for the glow-plugs and its done.

only problem ist the location of the generator: it's located on the  the exaust-side

the most 1.8S (90HP) engines have the AKM-gearbox, the 1,6l TD and 1,9l  D has it too!
at 2500RPM you drive real 100km/h with the stock 175/70R15 tires.

yes, thats right it makes the car absolutely unusable for loading large things :cry:

Was that Mr. Diesels test subject? I bet he scared the piss out of the horses.
