Once you have them bits you'l piss through it, only thing id look into is gearbox also, the sensors wud be diff but that wouldnt stop it from working, but if ur getting engine loom ecu ya may get box also maybe or jus buy a wrapped yoke with every last thing you need for feic all. Maybe other lads can help bout gearbox bit.
sdi geabox will bolt onto the tdi engine anyway so you wont have any bother there, as far as i know mounts are the same. You'd need the chip in the key to go with the ecu, front section off the exhaust, intercooler and pipes aswell
i"ve a tdi there for sale its 01 the van is in good con,,, the only fault is 5th gear is on its way out it keeps slipping out of gear,,,,, 1000euro if ya interested everything u need or just to get in and drive it away its doe till oct 11 and taxed till 5/11
You would need TDI donor van there to be right lad ,
Need to change alot of stuff eg. full loom (dash and all ) , pedal box , drive shalfs , hubs etc
Not really worth it with the time and money will take ya , would be better off just buying one IMO .
But a AAZ 1.9TD will go in very handy 75hp std , would see 90hp with a bit of adjustment to the pump and bit of boost .
You would lift a AAZ for 150-200euro (engine , loom , turbo , downpipe)
