	Any VW T4 Gurus on here ? As you have probably seen on my other post regarding the problem i have with the current engine Just thinking outside of the box for a moment but has anybody done the 2.4 to 2.5 conversion, i belive the Volvo V70 uses the VW 2.5 TD engine although the sump / manifolds / mountings will need swapping over, these seem to be cheaper to buy either as a loose engine or a complete scrap car which is probably the better option as you get everything with it also can hear it running Any input and advise welcome Thanks Dave

	they use a VP37 electronically controlled mechanical pump, so using a T4 donor would be a lot easier with regards to wiring looms.

	Thats what i was thinking could be another issue so if got a complete car could use the matching Volvo ECU`s Or maybe another option is to use the T4 mechanical pump and injectors on the 2.5 , cant see any information on the T4 T5 forum at the moment Thanks Dave

	non turbo pump wont have the boost compensation that the ECU has, or a mechanical turbo pump. injectors aren't electronic on the 2.5, bar having the needle lift sensor on one of them.

	Might also be worth looking for a C4 100/A6 with the 2.5 in it? Manifolding etc might be more suitable. They are getting rarish now but are still around www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-A6-2-5TDi-Estate-1996-/302137435052?hash=item4658cb63ac:g:I3kAAOSw4GVYKK9n www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-A6-Estate-6-speed-2-5-diesel-Spares-or-repair/152319100914?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D38661%26meid%3D8e6a577154424cb289f6e3e67997e73f%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D6%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D302137435052 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUDI-a6/182352144990?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D38661%26meid%3D8e6a577154424cb289f6e3e67997e73f%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D302137435052 Actually several on 'bay at present - unusually, two under 200k miles. Engines are damn tough - mine's nearing 296k. The earlier 2.4L version had a fully mechanical pump but no idea whether that would be any use - even if you could find one. Nick

	Got an lt35 turbo 5 cyclinder sat on the drive, there's another doner for you. Engines mint but the Ecu is shagged I think., pretty sure it only controls the fbw throttle. Currently bodged it to run mechanically. And with a throttle cable

	I've not pulled an electronic pump apart.......how easy was it to bodge up to be cable operated?
