[jimmydiesel]

hello there new to this forum, just bought a mark 2 caddy pick up as a project going to try to fit a 150 gt tdi out of a mark 4 golf just wondered if anyone has ever done this and what problems i will run into. cheers

[jimmydiesel]

just aving a go at posting some pics not very good on the old buttons whats the best way

[P4ulo]

Wow, awesome plans, I don't think anyone has done this transplant,
they are a bit of a grey area when it comes to what fits and what doesn't,
so I can't wait to see how you get on!!!

As far as pictures go - use the "manage attachments" section of the new post and you can whack them in that way!!!

Crack on, can't wait to see it!!

Rad looks like a great fit, but I thought you'd struggle trying to get the intercooler in there too!! Damn.
Could it not mount outside the engine bay but still up underneath the front bumper, IIRC the bumper has a bit of room behind it.....
Great start being made, and now you've cracked the pictures thingy you've no excuse not to keep us updated.......
What do you do, you seem to have some skills there buddy!

[jimmydiesel]
