Project: Converting 1.8 into a 1.9D
Righty I'm just starting to get around to doing the prep work on swapping over the 1.8 shell with the diesel one. Won't really kick off until next month as I've got a few tools and parts to get beforehand but though I'd start it off now as any advice on parts to start replacing now before it's in place would be very valuable.
So first up we have the Cat D 1.9D T3 and the reasons behind the bodywork being useless Although it might not look to bad behind that bumper and under the rear of the car it's a complete mess. Will get a picture up once I start dismantling. and the lovely shell it's going into Although the 1.8 is pretty solid it's got the usual VVT issue and the lifters need adjusting which although I'm happy enough to do I prefer diesel engines and considering my annual mileage I'd prefer to have a diesel so sod it So yeah my plan is literally the entire interior will be moved into the 1.8 including the wiring looms and the engine will be moved out the 1.9 into the 1.8 as well. |
