Comprehensive How-to TDI Swap Guide! Part 1: Intro and Stripdown Guide (Mk2 Golf Build)

In this video series we're showing you how to do a full TDI conversion on your Mk2 Golf.

We'll be tackling everything from CE1 to CE2 conversion, bodywork, fitting, you name it. With full diagrams and explanations, as well as handy tips and tricks.

Alongside the TDI swap we'll be doing a full restoration on the bodywork and interior of our beloved Mk2 Golf, Veronica.

Thank you for posting this. Your project is a great motivator. Mine is an '86 with an AHU swap. The progress stalled about 2 years ago.

Thanks for this. I may need to remove my slam panel for retrofit aircon condensor. Looks less intrusive than I thought.

I work on a driveway made of the same gravelly stuff, get a cheap yoga matt and use it when you have to kneel or lay down on the stones your body will thank you lol
