that'll only fit a TDI or SDI 1.9 with the 3 bolt mounting pattern (like the B4 Passat TDI or the 98-99 1z TDI)

i could see it fit.  but you will need to cut & modify certain things... probably end up butchering it a little...  anything is possible with time & money  :wink:

I hate those covers... The one that came on my 2003 didn't last the year along with the belly pan.

Engines must be seen, not hidden!

Do replace the lower cover though... it keeps water out of the turbo's VNT actuator. At least up here, moisture sitting in there will rust it out.

I just rolled past 208,000 miles yesterday, you might be right about significantly reducing the lifespan of my engine. :D

Actually I live in Florida, I think in the almost 5 years I have had my 2003 it got cold enough for the glow plugs to come on once.

Warm up time is very short without the covers in these parts.
