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.
