Hi again all, right looked at all the Glencoyne stuff and other threads but still can't figure this out! If I put a 200di engine in me s3 109 ex mod where does the battery go as I have under seat fuel tanks? Wondering if it ain't easier to look for a 5 bearing crank diesel and just do a straight swap! Any ideas? Cheers again in advance!
battery relocation on 200di conversion!

2.5 will still need battery moving whether under seat or higher in engine bay

as James says it can stay in the engine bay, you just have to be a little creative
extended battery tray legs and get it above the timing chest, make it so that it's unboltable for when/if you have to remove the engine again
or you "could" mount it in the tub in an ammo box to protect it/passengers

Thank you both, think lifting it up in the engine bay would be easiest, can keep the same wiring etc! Now just got to find a bloody engine for a reasonable price! I do wonder if it's not best look for a 5 mb diesel engine and just drop it straight in?

Why not just mount it between the seats (FFR Stylee) and make a cubby box with a raised 'floor' to accomodate, gives you enough room to fit an ancilary battery as well at some point
