Hello mate Hello

I know a chap with two flipped Passat/Audi boxed early bays both running TDI power. He is/we are in Ireland though...

you won't learn much from this photo but this is one of them:

Let me know if you find anyone local, I too plan on doing this to my bay (once I've built my garage...) and I live in Pershore, would be great to meet!

ok dude will keep you posted if i find someone,in the meantime I'm trying to research the best way to tackle each aspect of the conversion.things like cooling setup.clocks/electrics.best engine box to use.engine mounts.gear selector/stick for 5 gears.engine angle to use in a bay . oh too many variables,maybe ill stick with the aircooled lump!!!! nah just joking ....

I'm fitting a 110 afn and flipped box in mine at the moment. I'm in Worcester if you want to see how my cooling system is set up. Been running an mtdi for the last 5 years on modified gearbox but in the process of changing it for passat running gear.
