Nice build, pretty sure it’s straight forward swap , SRS done mine. , as my bls blew up , an couldn’t find anyone in Norfolk to do the conversion for me, think the manifold had to be modified.JaspalD wrote:@Chrisb1987

Did you do the callipers yourself are they easy enough to do ? My breaks seem to be terrible.

Re: PD130 1.9 Caddy
Does the 6spd box make a big difference vs 5spd? Is it a new clutch etc also?

Re: PD130 1.9 Caddy
Could you posssibly give me as much info for the pd130 conversion? I have the dreaded slow 2.0cdi and wanting to upgrade to the touran pd130 engine with 6 speed gearbox and need as much info as possible. Thanks in advance.

Did you end up changing the bls turbo to a 130 one?
