some people say it will, but it will depend on your driving
i'm about to fit a 200tdi using the standard series3 gear train, so i'll let you know in a few months :)

LANDYTIM:
I was advised by alot of people to uprate the gear/transfer box if i went TDi but the n/A will take them fine. Just started mine and driven the SIII N/A for the first time and it was fantastic!!  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Rich_P:
Yes.  Recommendation is to uprate the transmission if you're fitting a 2.5 200 TDi engine.  The reason is quite simple, you've got a lot of torque at the low rpms, unlike the V8 that has it much higher up in the rev range.  So you hit the peak torque a lot more on the TDi than the V8, and that's why the ones with V8s last so much longer before something breaks.

The 2.5 N/A is more than good enough for a Series, and the 2.5 TD will make it really go like a rocket.  :wink:
