PD130 Conversion

Hi all,

I have a 1.4 Diesel mk3 metro at the moment and was wondering if anyone had done a PD130 VW 1.9 conversion and was wondering what some pitfalls were of doing a similar conversion if any?

without knowing the exact numbers I think you would be adding like 100lb to the nose of your metro doing that conversion, so I think this will hurt handling somewhat.

I dont think any one had done this conversion. I have seen a couple of pump changes and a turbocharging project involving the original engine, but not in a while
