Ere, am just mooting a bit, but i thought the VW one was the Turbo Direct Injection and in a landy it stood fer Turbo Diesel Intercooler, as VW couldn't patent the initials, only what they stood for, and the landy one ain't VW injun so they got away with it standing for something different.

How bout this for a way to go? (shirley bin dun before so not worthy of own fred but this looked like a suitable highjackee!)

guys if i put anything more powerful in this machine something else will break, g/box, axle etc etc.... thats why i dont want to spend the next 3 months fitting a 300 tdi into an s3 whats the point. so i just was lookin for a straight replacement so i can get out and drive the damn thing instead of lay underneath it.
 
sean i am in newbury. maybe you can email me some details, just lookin for a straight replacement

If you take the intercooler out of the 200 tdi (not a 300), so just putting a straight through pipe instead of pipe-intercooler-pipe. It'll reduce the power of the engine and be alright for an s3. Changing the diffs to RRC ones will help abit too. But you'd need an electric fan. if your keeping series front. And exhaust downpipe conversion.

But unworth it if you aint got time but worth the upgrade for mpg and "performance"

never heard that being done before, still think it'd rip the drive components to bits unless you had a very light right foot

much more common is removing the turbo as per the following

Was done in the LRO 200tdi into Series 2A. They just put a pipe from top to bottom. So it still had turbo but not intercooler so it massivly reduced the turbo's power, so it was more 'acceptable' for the series's gearing
 
Breaking my Military Petrol engined beast (24volt). Crank oil seal failed and ruined the clutch. Engine Still OK. Got the seal to repair.
I'm in sunny Manchester.
 
Got a 2.25 sitting in me lock up that came out of the s3 you can have if you've not sorted yet (engines in Erith)
 
Never mindthis load of old toot - 2 1/14 military engine - £45 Northampton, oil clean, will deliver northampton :) Hope it will doo,
