Best Answer

All Volkswagen inline-four watercooled engines have the same mount points, so the diesel you want will definitely fit. It will work so long as you take the transmission from the donor car too. If you use a gas-engine transmission with a diesel engine, the car will be REAL slow. And then there's the other problem, namely that diesel is about $1 per gallon more expensive and VW diesels don't get enough better economy to compensate for that.

If your engine is not a diesel engine and you put diesel fuel in it is going to smoke allot and could cause internal problems. Now if your car is a diesel engine and you put regular fuel in it it probably wont run for long, but if you just put a different grade of fuel in you will be just fine. let say your car takes premium fuel (92 octane) and you put 89 or 87 octane in it the only variable that's going to change is maybe a little performance and fuel consumption
