Rudis Posted July 25, 2024 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2024 Decided first to take off whats broken and then make decisions, newest update: its not that bad and will be doing a bigger job at once: fixing the rust over the window cince its cracked anyway and making the manual transition. Am marking all the connectors before I forget what goes where. since i have two weeks of vacation at the start of august i should have plenty of time for all this 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Penguin Posted July 29, 2024 Report Share Posted July 29, 2024 Might it be easier to transfer your light weight bits to a 1.4 manual diesel than to do all the extra work of fixing yours 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted July 29, 2024 Report Share Posted July 29, 2024 The ECU is different. It wouldn't be happy. Although... you might be onto something here. I wonder if... you dropped a 1.2 lump in place of a 1.4; only replaced the injectors to the smaller 1.2 type, and swapped the turbine & manifolds from the 1.4 onto the 1.2. The 1.4 ECU would think that it's running a 1.4 TDI, but you have the advantage of amazing economy from the 1.2 along with power of the 1.4 (if you had the ECU remapped). And no EGR. Hmm. That has me thinking. Easy project... Anyone in the UK have a low milage 1.2 engine they're trying to get rid of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
