It depends on the year/model of the TDI head, the year/model of the 1.6 block, and finally what you mean by "work". Let's say no to the work part and partial yes to the bolt up part. The big problems are not the block but how the 2 types of engine differ inside the block and outside the block. Mark ralph meyermann wrote: > Hi all Im still learning about my first vw/westy.
