Engine swap

Postby Codex » Sat Sep 23, 2017 6:18 pm

I'm looking to make 2 transits into 1, I have a mk6 with di or something 2.0 engine (80 bhp?), and a 2.0 tdci 100 bhp mk6, the tdci van is rotten and the low bhp one isn't

I pretty much want to swap the engines, anything I need to know before I start or any mods that would improve the 80 bhp?

Thanks

Also...the Mk6 2.0 TDCi is 125hp, not 100..! If you do have a TDDi and a TDCi...they're not easily interchangeable, can be done but a is lot of work. Not as simple as just swapping lumps over.

You're probably right..we should wait and see what he's got instead of jumping in head first. I've usually got nuthin'.. :oops:
