Hey all,
My 2000 Golf is getting a bit tired, and the body is starting to rust...seems MN is a tough state for car bodies.
At any rate, My wife and I commute about 40 miles to work. We have talked about getting a vehicle that sits a little higher, and has all wheel or 4 wheel drive. I want to stay with a diesel for a couple reasons. One being a longer life.
The list of diesel powered 4 wheel drive vehicles that have a higher stance doesn’t seem to be very long.
My thought is that when the Golf goes down due to structural issues, that I pull the engine and rebuild it, and then potentially turn up the power a bit, and put it in a Tiguan.
The wife has one, and likes driving it, so it would be natural for her to be able to drive it.
Is this a crazy thought? The original engine is good for 200 hp, and 207 ft lbs of torque.
What are your thoughts?
