Watercooled to Aircooled ?

Post by aircooler80 »

Hi my mate has a 1.9dg and the engine has gone pop...he has a running turnkey 2.0 litre cu he wants to put in the same van.
would there be any issues / probs fitting the cu engine onto the dg gearbox and starter motor?
He knows he wont have any heating as he doesnt have the Aircooled heating tubes...
Any advise will be appreciated
Thanks
Nev :D

as a temporary fix it could be done (But make sure the tinware is sealed) but Elite do a replacement engine for 600 quid.........
