[Jaeger1.8T]

Looking at doing a 97 - 99 TDI swap into my mk2. What to see some inspiration and some build specs to get my mind going!

kevinmcd's old car should be more than enough inspiration. I am sure there are plenty of good shots of it around.

Can anyone post some pictures or point me in the direction of a build thread

Best info i have for you. I recommend doing a 1.9td aaz swap.

I am in the middle of doing a ALH swap from a 01 Jetta into my 87 Jetta, minor mods, chip, nozzles, clutch upgrade, exhaust.... nothing too fancy just a daily beater

everything removed

TDI in place

I am new to the who diesel thing. what is the big difference between what I want to do with a 97 - 99 TDI to a 1.9td AAZ swap?

an AAZ as all but 4 wires. wheres a tdi has an ecu.

the other big difference is the trans. its an 02A meaning you need to convert to hydraulic clutch and cable shift. versus your original linkage shift and cable clutch.

It has some roots as a mk2:

Soo pretty much it would feel like a mk4 when driving and I would have to fab up a peddle mount. Wouldn't I want it to have a ecu soo I can do some tuning to it?

bump for more info.

Go to the TDI club conversion Forum there are some in progress.

tuning is all done at the mechanical pump with the AAZ

AAZ is similar to the stock Mk2 diesels (indirect injection), but bigger.

TDI wouldn't be a hard swap in a Mk2 at all... the early models (Passat and Jetta) use CE2 so they'll drop right in, wiring, ECU and all, to a 90-92 Mk2. The trans being an 02A has no difference... an 020 will bolt up and you can keep the stock linkage. Or swap to the 02A if you choose. It's up to you. These cars are legos... there's no requirement. You can even choose to do an 02A w/ cable shift and clutch! (the conversion parts for an 02A w/ cable clutch come from a Eurovan).

Or you could do M-TDI, which IIRC is a mechanical diesel pump swapped onto a TDI engine (basically take a TDI longblock and put the IDI crap all onto it).
