Car Forum / Volkswagen / Water Cooled Volkswagen Cars / May 2007mk1 golf engine
Im looking for a diesel engine for my 82 golf cabriole. Does any one know what will fit eg are mk1, 2, 3 golf engines the same? I was told montego gear boxes fit on vw's do thier engines? any help much appreciated. Depends on your present engine. If it's a 1.3 or 1.4 then forget about it. If not then use a mk 1, 2.

A MK1 golf diesel would fit in quite easily if you could find a MK1 diesel as a donor car and get all the bits from that, a Mk2 turbo probably wouldn't give much trouble. I daresay a TDI could be fitted, but would be more difficult again. The basic block isn't that different between any of them, but it's all the other bits that will give you trouble. I've read of a Mk2 turbodiesel in a scirocco, which of course is mechanically very similar to your cabrio, and apparently it wasn't too hard. Certain Montego and Maestro cars used VW gearboxes- but not all of them. I daresay you could make a Montego diesel fit if you really wanted, and had lots of time and money, but you'd have to be mad. It would be a long way from a straight swap, a VW engine would fit much easier, and lets face it, is a lot better too. I have to ask why though. If your cabrio is at all in nice nick it would be much better with a standard engine, even though I'm a diesel fanboy. I do think it would be kind of fun with a PD130 or 150 TDI though. > evilsi...@googlemail.com wrote: > > Im looking for a diesel engine for my 82 golf cabriole.

Thanks for the help, I think il be trying for a TDI. The car is'nt to bad for its age, but the engine has many problems! I keep hearing of diesel engines running on chip fat, thought id give it a go over the summer. Im an engineering student so if I manage to make it work it will look good on my c.v. >> evilsi...@googlemail.com wrote: >>> Im looking for a diesel engine for my 82 golf cabriole.

You will need to get the engine, gearbox, clutch, engine ECU, and immobiliser at least. Good luck. > evilsi...@googlemail.com wrote: > >> evilsi...@googlemail.com wrote: [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > > - Show quoted text - I will be buying a full car so the above parts should'nt be a problem.

The 8V digifant engine will easily do 50mpg if you insist on swapping engines, and it'll actually go well. > > Im looking for a diesel engine for my 82 golf cabriole.

Besides, running a Golf TDi on chipfat is a bad idea.
