[Vwdiesel] swapping out 1.6d for 1.6td

[LBaird119 at aol.com]

  You'll need to tack weld in a fuel filter mount where it is on an A1 TD, 
which your donor car doesn't have.  The cast downpipe from the turbo 
is different A1 to A2, one should work on the other but possibly not the 
other way around.  I BELIEVE an A2 has the tighter bends and would 
still work on an A1 but then a new flange and big exhaust all the way 
(2 1/2") would be best by far.  Air filter assy is different and needed.  
Again A2 and A1 are different but should be interchangeable with 
mounting points added to the pu.  
  Just finished one up a couple years ago but it was an A1 TD into an 
A1 pu.  That's all I can remember needing to do other than basic bolt 
in.  A few sensors etc. will be different and need to be swapped from 
your original engine.
