Rebuilding 1.9 DG as a 2.1?

I'm soon to rebuild a new motor for my 1.9 WBX and am interested to know if I can put 2.1 barrels and pistons in it? Is everything else the same?

Cheers

Re: Clutch hose to slave cylinder help!

Cheers guys, got the jk one through today, and its no use, so it's going back, two female ends. Havn't the time to get anything made up etc. Not sure what that hose is for but certainly doesn't fit my bus. Ordered one from Brickwerks, looks very nice and is a braided jobby so is good piece of kit! C...

Re: Do you need to bleed the brakes if you bleed the clutch?

Cheers! I'll give it a go tomorrow.

I'm very tempted to change it anyway, but as the van is on the road out side my digs until xmas I don't want to risk nipples rounding of etc.

Do you need to bleed the brakes if you bleed the clutch?

I'm in the process of replacing my clutch slave cylinder. Is it correct that the clutch & brake system uses different master cylinders but the same resevoir so guess I don't need to bleed the brakes as well?

Diesel fuel consumption?

What fuel consumption is likely with a diesel t25? I'm pretty bored of my DG's fuel consumption and may think about making the swap in the near future?

Also I have a small boat I tow my DG copes ok, but is the diesel up to it?

Regards
