Conversion tdi

Post by adminpop »

Hi all,

I own 2002 9n polo 1.4 Tdi 3 cylinders version.

I want to put a 1.9 Tdi engine in but what’s the cost and is there anyone in south Wales who could do this?

Not as straight forward as you think first you will need to make sure that the braking system is up to the increase in power and weight, you will poss need a new gear box/ drive shafts. The ecu may also require to be changed. Your insurance will go up through the roof as car not standard spec. Probally not cost effective better to get the old engine remapped and upgrade your brakes if not already done.
