I have no idea why people are saying it’s not worth it?
I would 100000% do a conversion if I had enough desire for the car.
Other conversions are particularly hard when going from petrol blocks to other petrol blocks with issues with driveshaft’s electrics etc, but the diesel will fit straight into the engine bay, apart from POSSIBLY the driveshafts, everything else can be used, you will need diesel engine mounts. Wiring is dead simple, exhaust will need to be made/bought as a stock DT, and a few hoses required. You’ll have issues with the clocks too.
I seem to remember a few of us doing a gti6 conversion to Dturbo on Ruans car in 1 day, and there were NO teething issues following, apart from the tacho….
