    Posted: 17 Aug 13 at 23:27
I have a 1.6 turbo diesel T3 at the moment with a very sick engine (head cracked and a couple of other small issues.
I was thinking about upgrading to a 1.9 turbo diesel from a Mk3 Golf, is this a fairly straight forward swap or are there any special considerations or requirements. Would it be advisable to get a complete car to ensure I get all the bits I need
Any assistance gratefully received.

Many thanks

Some where on here there`s a list/guide of parts you need from the donor and what you need from the 1.6 but where that list lives I have not got a clue (any mods reading this could you not put the list up as a pined/sticky thread as this question must be the most asked )

If you could get the whole car it will always be an advantage

The quickest /easiest way is to use all the ancillaries from the donor apart from the turbo you will also need a new one of these http://www.brickwerks.co.uk/index.php/t3-parts/t3-engine/t3-diesel/t3-diesel-cooling/bypass-hose-t3-d-td.html and one of these http://www.brickwerks.co.uk/index.php/t3-parts/t3-special-section/t3-1-9d-td-tdi-conversion/aaz-gtd-1y-throttle-levers.html the throttle lever can be modified on the aaz pump so it fits, (requires a bit of welding ) so you might get away with out that bit  , you may need one of these http://www.brickwerks.co.uk/index.php/t3-parts/t3-special-section/t3-1-9d-td-tdi-conversion/aaz-gtd-m-tdi-engine-lid-cover.html done a couple of conversions and have not had to use the latter one
