    Hello. For some time now my T4 has been eating up oil in significant amounts, and recently the coolant. I think that it is not worth doing anything here, just looking for a replacement engine, so I am writing to you asking which car the engine will fit it without any problems. Currently it is a 1.9d engine, but I was thinking about 1.9td and here my second question is whether such a conversion to a TD is a lot of work or not. I am waiting for your opinions.

    The conversion is not a lot of work, the difference is generally only in the accessories - different manifolds, exhaust and injection pump. To translate a passenger car (Golfy 3, Passat) you would have to look at the cushion mounts. And the oil pan to be moved.

    The bowl, the dragon, I don't remember if the oil dipstick tube, the timing case. The rest of the equipment remains from the old bike

    You can put the golf 3 ahu or 1z only you need to have the engine from t 4 for parts because it differs in the dragon with the oil pan paw mounting, and in place of the tdi pump you put the pump from the t4. I have all the parts for such a modification info on pw or call

    Come on, m-tdi? It's better to add an ecu, a bundle, a soldering iron in the paw and fire with the topic. On the t4 forum, everything is described in detail, if someone does not know how to bite the swap case.

    TD for my needs is a luxury driving around the chimney, occasionally up to 50 km. So I practically have to change the hardware. And what about the electrics, are there any differences in the 1.9 da TD need to be changed?

    No, electrically it's the same.

    Even no workshops want to undertake this. Within a radius of several dozen kilometers, all T4s only get to me on the engine swap.
    The head must be vented, holes for the paw on the timing side have to be drilled and tapped, and a hole for the oil gauge must be drilled.

    Well, let me just add that it is easier with the transverse. I make a b5 afn belt for myself and it is a little more fun, and the time is still not enough and the car has been standing for several months :-(

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the feasibility of swapping a 1.9d engine for a 1.9td engine in a 1997 T4 vehicle. Participants indicate that the conversion is manageable, primarily requiring changes to accessories such as manifolds, exhaust systems, and the injection pump. Specific car models like the Golf 3 and Passat are mentioned as potential sources for the 1.9td engine. It is noted that while some parts from the T4 engine are necessary for compatibility, the electrical systems remain unchanged. Additional modifications may include drilling and tapping holes for proper fitting. Overall, the consensus is that while the swap is not overly complex, it does require careful attention to detail and some mechanical skills.
