paddymoo:
am looking for a new engine and have been offered a 2..5NA diesel from someone on this forum. the engine is from a 90, and so the questions is, will it go in easily, and will it marry up to my s3 gearbox?

anybody done it?

help  would be muchly appreciated!

hi, yer, i was about to do this but now building a hybrid instead,

series3_mad did this conversion to his old truck which i think he still has somewhere so maybe search for him and there may be a post on it some where,

no dout there shall be some other topics on it in the search archive

Leslie Henson:
Yes it can be done fairly easily. Some minor modifications are needed and little bit of welding. I have done this conversion myself, as well as the TD engine in a series 3. There are several threads covering the work, so a quick search should supply all the info you need.

CanIBeFrank:
Just done it on my series 3, with help as I'm spanner shy but it all went ok.

The only bit that could be a pian if you haven't got access to a welder is moving one of the engine mounts.

James.Harwood:
I think the only thing you need to do is move the battery and possibly remove the battery tray
