Hello al
I will get some pictures up shortly for the diesel conversion. I am doing both vehicles at the same time just waiting on some Parts at the moment. It looks like if you already have diesel the Conversion is much easier if going to tdi petrol takes some fabrication Parts to be made. But I have made it fit under the hood which is the main Objective . Any idea on your svx engine what went wrong with it, is it worth saving. |

Its coil packs most likely.
Just a bit of a bugger really...

why dont you flash the ecu to see what code comes up it should come up with coil pack problems.on mine
still having problems with rev counter got it to work with taking signal from ignition amplifier,but not accurate as i rev the powersteering kicks on but on idle no powersteering. my vehicle revs faster than the needle moves,at the moment dont know what to do. there must be someone out there who can give me some advice on what to do.

at last my t3/20vt is up and running.
got the rev counter and powersteering up and running. so far have drove it 100 miles local driving and had no issues at the moment, at 50 mph the revs were sat at 2000rpm and cruising along. will get some pictures up soon of the rest of the conversion and it driving. also waiting on ecu for chris van so i can test drive the 50 degree diesel install which i carried out aswell. |

Congratulations mate!
Thats some going using the prototype parts. Hopefully this solution will ensure our wagens have a modern alternative drivetrain. I am really keen to see how Chris's Tdi conversion turns out. Any thoughts of performance chip upgrades at this point? How does the 150bhp feel verses the 112bhp from the 2.1?

Hello
Alam happy new year. You saying the difference, well the 2.1 on original Box was good reving but the 20vt is more refined as to How you drive it. The turbo is more like a supercharger Long in gears 2nd gear easy 45. As for upgrade bigger turbo, Injectors,and a remap should be easy 200bhp, As you know I have had 230bhp in same vehicle And I do drive it! |

Hi there, great conversion youve done there
What gearbox are you using for this as you say its an Audi and all you did was turn it upside down, no internal mods at all???
Awesome stuff there

Sid did the Diesel conversion is done too... my mate Chris should soon be picking up his camper with VW Passat TDi engine and gearbox (all from the same donar Passat) from Sid this or next week.
Sid has promised a test drive in his Turbo Caravelle with Audi engine and Box back to back with the Diesel conversion. Lets see how they compare. I'm hoping tag along and get a test drive myself. I'll do a video and post them upf for everyone to have a looksee. :)

Should make for a couple of interesting test drives.
Up to a few months ago I was all set on dropping an AFN in with a flipped box, however leaving any fuel savings out of the equation for the diesel I am quite keen on the 1.8t as an alternative so will be reading your comparison with interest. |

hi im looking to do the same conversion with a upright diesel so every thing from an audi or passat will fit need to do it with the entire engine sitting under the hood which should not be a problem. the only issue is that i dont have any t3 left to do the conversion in so if any body out there whants it installing give me a shout.ill be more than happy to do it.or for that matter even 1.8t. does anybody know of someone who can do the wiring loom for the 1.9pd engine that will be the diesel conversion to go for.

I'd very much like to know how you would go about it with a upright Diesel engine
 and I would crap myself if my van could do what yours done! haha

If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits eighty-eight miles per hour... you're gonna see some serious shit.

hi nothing is impossible to do the upright conversion,if i can do the 1.8t upright whats so hard about the
diesel upright.using the same engine mounting support bar for the petrol and diesel is the same. hitting 88 miles per hour dont know what you mean i have had the van at 120 mph with a s3 engine on standard box in the same van.

Ive only ever reached 87/88 mph in my 1.7D
 Thats outright dangerous to the public Very nerving... and loud. We done a 118 in my Dad's 2.1 Auto. That was much more enjoyable (Not shitting myself) haha Ive had a look at your 1.8T conversion thread. Very well done, its made me want to petrol instead of diesel now

hi spuds
sorry just been a busy person from work and home. any way the gearbox was cut on the face by 15mm all round due to the adaptor plate being 15mm thick.the direction is 180degree flip for the gearbox,no welding involved atall you can buy the adaptor plate from Tim under the user name vw nerd.he supplied me with the parts and i did the build. by the way your not to far from me (bradford)if you want to have a look at mine by all means if you make it during this week i can also show you a t3 with a 3.3 subaru that i did a while back.customer collecting it next week end.
