Megadan Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 The COTY Adapter set is the one I am talking about. If you have any fab skills to do motor mounts etc, then the only thing you really would need from them is the adapter setup, and it comes pretty complete for the price. Otherwise, as John mentioned, just do some searching for TDI swaps, there's quite a bit out there. The hardest part is the wiring really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnj92131 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 COTY is just plan EXPENSIVE! Read this very recent thread about a TDI into an XJ: http://forums.tdiclub.com/forumdisplay.php?f=63 He also sells conversion parts at a fraction of COTY! Much more reasonable. Also sells motor mounts complete or as a dyi kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Not sure if that TDIclub swap is related, but I remember 1 or 2 people over at the Naxja forums that did TDI swaps. Their threads were not really in depth. But pending deals on the required parts, sounds like a good swap. Back in high school when I had my "piss-yellow" 1980 MB 300SD sedan, non-turbo, I regularly got 25+mpg in my "normal driving" and 35+ highway. Can be converted to run bio diesel or WVO easily.

Megadan Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I like that 2 piece adapter and the ability to let you clock the motor. The price is actually higher than the COTY adapter, and aside from the starter, includes less. I guess it really depends on what parts and options you can do without.

buckwheat Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I would enjoy piecing together a TDi conversion. But that has to wait a few years. However, I can read all the free information I can find until then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
