Subject:TDI conversion...
From:Grungy <grungy@GRUNGY.COM>
Date:Sat, 6 Aug 2011 01:06:35 -0500

My daughter did a cartwheel with a full twist and jumped over a fence
in my 2005 Jetta Wagon TDI, and it is likely totalled. (she is fine
except for an abrasion from the shoulder belt, no airbag deployment)

Can someone please advise me on what it would take to put that TDI in
my '89 Carat?
It's a pumpe duse.
And can someone suggest a shop to do the conversion for me?

The intercooler was sitting on the ground when the wrecker took it
away, but that's because the right front was crunched during the
cartwheel (along with the left front and the right rear). It was
hanging from it's hoses.
Couldn't get the hood open at the storage lot, so I haven't gotten a
really good look at the engine yet, but the front end of the vehicle
isn't pushed in much at all and all four tires are still inflated, so
it didn't land "too" hard.
