We just finished converting this 2005 Ford Ranger to a VW TDI (BEW) Turbo Diesel. gastodiesel.tdc... Here is a great page to get more info on TDI swaps. www.facebook.c...
Hi Evguy1, just curious why you needed a rear driveshaft spacer? Isn't the transmission in the same place as it was originally in the truck? Since you didn't mention anything in the list about new transmission mounts...By the way, I am hoping to do a very similar project soon with the same automatic transmission, I was wondering if you could explain exactly the settings you used for the Dakota Digital module for the transmission speed sensor to fool the TCU into shifting earlier. Thanks!
I have quick question concerning the adapter plate I’ve seen on the website , I’m planing on a Rwd conversion on a Vw golf . I know for a fact that Vw Tdi and 1.8T have same bolt pattern , are you using the standard ford flywheel, pressure plate and 23 spline clutch disc ? I can see a crank adapter in the parts list, so I’m assuming yes maybe ? Also is there a pilot bearing inserted in the VW crank for the ford transmission input shaft ?
In order to use one of my adapters you would need to swap in the later 3L or 4L V6 transmission. People are doing this swap on all sorts of vehicles, older and newer.
TD Conversions.com ok i could do that. I’d just need to figure out the wiring and we’re golden. I love the sound, reliability and efficiency of these little 1.9tdi engines.. we just put one in my friends 91 mkii jetta carat and it’s a whole different beast now..
