Audi 5000 Diesel conversion

[Tony Hoffman]

George,
 
Yes, the transmissions bolt up the same. This is true of all Audi engines. The engine mounts are the same for all 5-cyl engines. Can't imagine one that old uses a computer. I don't think a computer was necessary till the TDi. Anyone with other experience?
 
Also, if fuel spouts are the same as in the US, you will need to either change it out, or pull out the restrictor somehow. Diesel nozles are larger in diameter than Gasoline.

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
