1.9 TDI Conversion Project
Just seen this for sale here in Ireland as an unfinished project.
Don't know any other details, not something you see very often. Not sure if the link will work, I added some photos from the ad. https://www.donedeal.ie/view/16338360 |

Curious. I have contemplated something similar since the PD130 can easily make more power than the 2.8 and weighs considerably less so such a thing ought to be entirely driveable.
Shame there's no more info on how they figured out the clutch pedal. I'd be interested in that if it weren't so far away. |

Looks like the footrest has gone to make room and a smaller brake pedal, but from what?

Its a B5 / C5 clutch pedal. It looks like a complete B5 pedal cluster tbh but it'd be quite a job to graft it in there. Could explain why the pedals are offset so far to the left compared to stock though.

The Seller also has a 2.5TDI engine for sale on a different ad, maybe he had planned to use it instead of of the 1.9 ?
Those 1.9TDI engines are pretty bombproof but make quite a clatter. Some additional soundproofing might be needed. |

It does look rather a long way over to the left, unless it's just the photo making it look that way. It would be awfully uncomfortable to drive. When I drove buses I remember one particular type where the pedals where too far to the left and the steering wheel too far to the right, very weird feeling!

Nice find! Very unusual combination but I like it. I wonder how much the got the weight down to. If its also FWD must be quite light weight relatively speaking.
If it saves the owner at least 700 euros per year sounds like its well worth it. Comfort, economy plus low cost. |

Its a completely different design though, so either some creative engineering has being going on here, or some bad hacking |
