You will use all the JX (original engine) ancilliaries. You only need the block with its turbo.
I know it gives a brief indication of what mods need to be done in the diesel engine topic but could someone tell me exactly what needs to be done to put the 1.9TD in?
Everything you need to know to start can be found in the posts really Here's one of them

Is there a particular year of golf engine I should go for? as I presume the more modern the engine the more wiring involved ?!?

AAZ engine c/w manual pump. After that TDIs, great engines with a lot more to do in the wiring departement

Will I need the wiring loom?
No

Will the gear ratios need changing?
No

Thanks alot Matt
