Subject:      TDI conversion...
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed"

My daughter did a cartwheel with a full twist and jumped over a fence in my 2005 Jetta Wagon TDI, and it is likely totalled. (she is fine except for an abrasion from the shoulder belt, no airbag deployment)

Can someone please advise me on what it would take to put that TDI in my '89 Carat? It's a pumpe duse. And can someone suggest a shop to do the conversion for me?

The intercooler was sitting on the ground when the wrecker took it away, but that's because the right front was crunched during the cartwheel (along with the left front and the right rear). It was hanging from it's hoses. Couldn't get the hood open at the storage lot, so I haven't gotten a really good look at the engine yet, but the front end of the vehicle isn't pushed in much at all and all four tires are still inflated, so it didn't land "too" hard. --
