Hello. Brand new here, so please forgive if this has been asked and covered, though I didn't see a thread.
As an ardent fan of a) the current New Beetle body, and b) VWs new clean diesel engine (not available for the Beetle), I'm wondering what it would take to swap any current model, either gas or diesel (whichever makes most sense), for a clean diesel engine, perhaps from a new Golf. In suggesting whether it is possible and what would need to be done, assume that money is no object for now. This isn't supposed to be a money saver, just a way of getting my dream car, and an engine that makes environmental sense for now.
If certain models or years of NB would be easier as starting points than others, I'd appreciate knowing that too. Notwithstanding that, the newer the better.
Thank you!
