I'm looking at going from the 1.8L gas to the 1.9TDI out of the MK4. I understand the whole fuel system needs to be replaced...Will this swap work out?

done a bit of looking. if your using a pd engine you will need the eitire loom from the donor car as the ecu wont let the engine run unless it has all the original parts that it talks to.
