Someone was just after doing the exact opposite not so long ago (i think).

I think you are best off putting an ad in swaps "Swap JX engine setup for petrol setup".

Alternatively, do a bit of research into the petrol GTI engine conversion. A few people have done it on here i think - though im not sure who.

You can use a few of your diesel bits for the conversion (fly wheel, gearbox bell housing, engine mounts)....

Welcome to the forum by the way :)
