right then boys and girls..
got myself a doka...
do i put in a tdi or scooby.
what are cost involed in hardware for conversion.
both engines i can get for similar money and will do the work myself so it is down to extras now

i would have thought derv would be cheaper but scooby is great! I mgiht be biased as i have a scooby lump!

How good are you I only ask if your gonna do most of it your self and not buy a lot of the kits for a scooby kit can keep it loads cheaper !

The way I would look at it is, if you've got a petrol van go Scooby, if it's diesel go tdi

quite capable at building stuff. the scooby i would buy the rjes bell housing. prob try to do most of the rest.

I have had both and they both can be great, I suppose the real decider is what kind of use do you want from it when it done

just an occaisional toy. take the boys and bikes out. general stuff really. got a t4 and a golf for normal stuff

You any good at wiring???? if you go down the scooby route, you either buy a pre made loom of make your own for a hell of a lot less, id did and it aint for the faint hearted! Plus ideally get a whole car that way you can be sure it runs, plus you need the loom/ecu out the car

Scooby. No contest.

You might as well ask "chalk or cheese"...both are a good source of calcium but one is a lot more palatable than the other!

It all depends on what's right for you.

Depends on what MPG you want too, if its a toy then it doesnt really mater. I have driven both and although the right scoobiy engine choice knocks your socks off early on the TDI gives a more steady knocks your socks off and gives good fuel return.

so kinda like a scooby is a back alley knee trembler and a tdi is the marrying kind?

Keira Knightley or Nora Batty, you choose!

Good point Lloydy..

Like the Manogue sisters, Danny (like a scoobie) would be up for a stand up knee trembler in the pub car park and is the gobshite sister, where Kylie is a sophisticated well thought out number that scoffs at her lower class dip stick toss pot wanna be sister that despite her wanna be efforts will never be as cool as Kylie no matter how desperate her cry is
