Just speculation, but:

i) will either or both of these engines run on LPG?

ii) where would the tank go?

and

iii) are there any companies doing this conversion?

keep us informed :yes:

Fred,I have my Golf V6 4motion converted to LPG from the first link on Mac's list.

Now The previous owner had it done so I have as of yet no first hand dealings with them until I go there to have it serviced early next year.

The prevouis owner was so impressed he used to go every year to them for a service from Redruth.

Its a very tidy install and you don't feel to much of a decrease in power from LPG.

Cost me £26 for a 45L fill up! Noice!

At the moment LPG conversion for direct injection engines is still at a starting point.

The Vialle group is ready to install LPG direct injection http://www.vialle.nl/producten/lpdi.html?L=1

the problem is that this kind of equipent have to be approved for each single engine and for each single car.

on this italian page

http://www.baldiegovoni.it/site/impianto-vialle-lpdi.html

there's a list of cars already approved.

among them there is our engine code (1.2 TSI CBZB) but not our car.

I've just asked for availability and price.

i will let you know soon

Massimo

ps

For the 1.8 TSI shoul be ready the PRINS direct injection http://www.prinsautogas.com/en/search_results.html
