pat Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Has anyone considered or looked into swapping a diesel into their US TC? I went form a Golf TDI to a TC and the only thing I miss is the diesel. I don't know how friendly a VW TDI conversion would be, but I imagine it could be done. Another option might be to import either a TC or Focus diesel from europe and then get it to pass emissions. I know that importing and swapping diesel Toyota engines is fairly common and these folks don't seem to have to much trouble getting those registered despite the differences in emission standard between Japan and the US. I figure I have to put a lot more miles on my current TC engine before I can justify pulling it out, but when the threshold is crossed I will have to seriously consider spending the time and energy to swap a diesel into it.

mrtn Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Shouldn't be too difficult as it's originally also diesel equipped. Just be sure to look out for a modern TDCi engine, not the underpowered medieval TDDi. Keep an eye on brits' leftovers, doing diesel > Cosworth swap. They're nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
