I think it may be easier to buy a 4mo and put a tdi engine in, as the chassis is slightly different so would be a hell alot of work to make the tdi a AWD

Looking to make my gt tdi 150 into awd
Hi i was considerin selling my gt tdi 150 for a v6 4motion but they look like there goin to cost a fortune to run. Has any one turned there gt tdi into awd ? Can anyone talk me through wat I'm goin to need if it can be done ? I'm sure I can get a 4motion for parts

As above was looking at doing it to mine but not worth it then if you do get a 4 motion spend the money on getting big power or something not making it derv power
x3 i was looking to do the same to the bora too.. will be easier to buy a 4mo chassis and drop the derv in the hole.
Now worth considering that VOSA will want to recertify the car as its a fuel conversion. That and there is a lot of additional work needed in terms of fueling systems and suchlike.
I looked into this in great detail.
Easier solution is to find a good european TDI150 4motion, and converting it for RHD. Bonus points for a Wagon or Bora!

It doesn't from what i'd seen, especially for a French car.
And then when you look at the VOSA charges, it makes it really economically worth while.
One day, you will see, i'll have a genuine European TDI150 4mo Bora Estate. Hell might even leave it LHD for poops and giggles! (i can see it now, big turbo, map it, NOS it)

Thanks guys looking at the 2006 golf tdi 4motion but there just not the same as the mark 4 are they.
Well its a mk5 for starters.... []
However, it would lend itself nicely to a hybrid turbo, remap, exhaust, and full GTI bodykit!

I think his issue is he wants a MK4, hence the MK5 GT is no good, i doubt a passat is gonna be much better.Or buy a Passat 4motion TDI?
Yeah, I understand, but just thought I'd suggest the easy option []
]Wat are ur thoughts on the mark 5 tdi 4 motion ?
The amount of money you will spend to make the conversion complete will be a joke. Why not just put that money together and buy a car that is purposely built an AWD like a quattro Audi or some thing?
