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.

Probably building a hypermiler to hit 3 l/100km, 78mpg?
The below project used the 1.2 tdi from the Lupo https://www.facebook.com/pg/ekotunin...26508297363058 http://www.wardtro.de/html/3l_audi.html http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=412491

Could be related to Irish Road taxes, older cars are taxed on engine size.
1.9 would be about €700pa! 2.8 €1400 4.2 (over 3.0) €1800 Newer cars (emissions-based) can go up to €2350pa..... That's why we didn't see many big-engined cars (except those with NI plates) on our tour last year.

Yeah - that does look like the ****ty accelerator pedal from a B5.
Stupid plastic hinge that splits open...
