d4n91 Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 You can make anything fit if you've got the bank balance to suit. I think Ive seen someone on here with the 1.9tdi lump in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfOfZero Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 You'll need more than just the engine...This.but I wouldn't say impossible. I've seen a mk1 Golf with a Polo diesel engine inside, mk5 I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Isnt this engine in that Lovely Blue GTI lupo that's recently popped up? the guys from Wolfsburg? (GTD thread) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblet Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Essentially yes it's the same engine although the one in the GTD Lupo is a 150bhp block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jace_b Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I had a 2003 pd150 golf from new & jabba mapped its @ 58k, it's now @152k, no cam issues, using the right oil is key to a long life.They have a much bigger front mounted inter cooler than the small side mounted 130 version.In a Lupo it would be nuts !!!
