Looking on the forum and after speaking to a few people the engine change to a 1.9TDI is wavering.
It seems that the diesels have a tendency to wear out the gearboxes but then I suppose they are producing about twice the HP and torque. Plus you have to find someone to fit one quicker than 6mths! Don't want to change to Petrol.
The JX pottles along nicely but as always could do with a bit extra, especially on long hills. So is it worth fitting a watercooled intercooler to the JX.
I have seen several people have fitted them to TDi's but has anyone fitted on to a JX. Possible done before TDi's came along and would it be worth while.
A good article is the one below and this seems to have increased the output but well within the limits of the gearbox.

Any advice appreciated.
