This is NOT true. I am installing a 1.9L Turbo Diesel with factory AC and PS. There is NO WAY this will fit under the engine cover with out modifications as the alternator sits way too high. This is the same for the 1.6TD, 1.9TDI and the 2.0L cross flow engines. If you start messing around with the pullies like they did in the TiiCo kits then it is vibration city. More an more people are coming to realisation that if you install the motor at 15 degrees using all the factory accessories you are in for a trouble free installation, you will GAIN storage space and everything will work they way it should.

All inline 4 cyl. Vw engines will fit, if you use the Diesel parts, just like the tiico does.
