TD5/300TDI ??
lambert:
Having had each engine I would say 300, we had a td5 and it would stall under its own weight pulling out of our drive, no bottom end at all. Great on motorways very smooth but with the big trailers it was nasty. The 300 however with a bit of a pump tweak has only stalled once trying to pull out a golf from a ditch and that was my fault not its. There also nowt for top end 70 is 70 even in a veyron and less lumpy tyres do make a smoother ride. So yeah get the tidiest 300 you can a 98 or poss 99 car or a restoration on a galvanized frame.
Good luck..

Is that the crossover years is it 98/99 ?, i had thought about starting with a new galvy chassis and having a 300tdi engine rebuilt to as new then swap add panels etc as it went along ending with something thats as new priced it up and wow allmost cost twice as much as just being patient and searching for a minter, :smiley:
lambert:
Yeah mine is really an s and as far as I can work out is in the last 3 thousand made before td5 i have seen a couple of tdi's on a t but not many. An other way to get a later one with tdi is ex military, but I don't know much about what and when with them.
As for galvanized your best letting someone else take the hit of building one...
