What a bloody amazing thing the 200tdi from td swap is! Did it over last weekend and it went nice and smoothly! Didn't even have to extend oil pipes!! Got lucky there.
Amazing power difference, when I first bought it I was surprised how much poke the td had.. And now this! Almost beat an Audi tt onto the motorway today, he just got me with top speed. And so far I have done 70 miles on £10 compared to 20 miles with the td! I have been booting it quite abit too! My clutch is now lovely and soft and smooth compared to the graunchy stiff old one!
Only 2 niggles, the exhaust turbo elbow is scarily close to the footwell.. And I think my bastard brand new rear crank oil seal is leaking! Must have twisted abit on it's way in :-( but I suppose i did get away with using my oil pipes. And I didn't recieve my heat proof sound insulation in time to put that in.. So I suppose it's not all bad.
Just had to share my amazement at the difference!
