TDI ranger swap

finaly! it took 4 month's to pull the V6 and put in the TDI (engine code ALH) in, the engine came out of a 2000 VW golf. In the course of 2 weeks after the swap I put 800 miles on the new engine, and I probably put 1,000 miles on it before I tuned it. I will be posting the rest as I get time.

I really enjoy your ingenuity and mechanical aptitude! I’m a 63 yr old HD mechanic.

The 3.slow sure is a gas sucker. Never got good fuel mileage with mine. Love this swap idea

[@Mattblack440]

I like your 3/4 lights in the mirrors.

Great video, I’d definitely follow along if you post more build videos

[@pablogray3837]

More to come!

Pair it with a Borg S200SXE and some bigger injectors/pump mod and all that and you'll put down good numbers with decent response, too.

I was wanting to do this swap myself. I am eager to see how it goes for you.

[@morgankovarik3649]

Great idea.

How did you get the gage cluster to work

[@miket8333]

Did you ever figure out AC? Apparently a 00-05 Passat bracket fits on the passenger side down low.

[@pablogray3837]

That's what I heard, but I measured it up And the engine mount and cross member would be in the Way. I'm trying to figure a way to put it on the driver's side above the power steering pump.

If I ever did a diesel swap on my Ranger , I would go all the way and make it a dually too . But since it has the 4 liter and runs perfect still , I probably won't do either .

[@pablogray3837]

I wanted to also, but I'm looking for good MPG.
