Hi ya all
. Im a newbie and this is my first post. I'm looking to buy my first car a vw golf mk2 GTI 16v or 8v and i was hoping someone could give me some advice because i want to replace the engine for a VW Passat B5 2.5 V6 TDI 180BHP.
Is this possible?
Would it be better if i buy the mk2 GTD or GTI for me to replace it with the TDI? GTD and TDI being diesel would it be better/easier or does it make any differnece being Petrol? Thank you.
Basically :lol: i want a very fast tdi engine with the mk2 gti look. please advise me. thank you
are the v6 tdi's mounted front to back?

You are correct. the V6 TDI is mounted north/south. They share no parts with the golf.
The only way that you could ever install this engine in a mk2 golf would be to cut the complete front end off the passat and weld it onto the golf.
A more practical, but still very technical, swap would be a PD150 engine and trans from a mk4 golf into the mk2 golf. At least the engine would be mounted in the proper direction, if nothing else.
