Hi Listers:

I have 3 '85-'87 Audi 5000 CD TQ's. I would like to put a diesel in one of
them. There is an '86 Audi 5000 S  Turbo Diesel in a local yard. The engine is
complete and cheap. I know it won't win any 1/4 mile drags, but we all drive
too fast anyway.

Can anyone confirm the following: ?

1) I have been told that you don't need a computer for the diesel.
2) Motor mounts etc. are the same, simply bolt in.
3) The manual transmission from the gas TQ bolts to the diesel.

Are there any other problems I should be aware of?

Cheers
George
