Hi,

"Putting a diesel engine in a gasoline car would definitely not be approved by DE***."

Why shouldn't anyone do that? The basic car bodies are the same... and if you modify everything, it's essentially identical to a car originally built as a diesel. As I said... in my thought experiment, I'm assuming cars that are exactly like that from the factory - so the Corrado TDI is excluded.

Best regards,

Jan.

Again... because you're changing the type of powertrain. This then qualifies as a "special build" or "special vehicle" and is not treated as a standard production vehicle.

Thank you, Bertil, you nailed it...

Hi Jan,

Sure, here's the translation:

"Here's some more information:"

The emission control code can be changed, but only with an emissions test report or a manufacturer's certificate.
So, if you're installing a diesel engine into a gasoline-powered car body and have a manufacturer's certificate stating that the vehicle is then in a defined, standard condition, the emissions key number will also be changed. However, the TSN (Vehicle Identification Number) and HSN (Engine Identification Number) will remain the same, as they are not allowed to be altered.

Here's something else... Regarding parts relevant to emissions, things like tires, the exhaust system, and the transmission also count. In the case of a G3 conversion from 1Z to ALE, this isn't really a problem. All these parts were available as standard equipment, and a manufacturer's certificate would be possible (if the manufacturer would provide such a document). However, if you want to equip an Audi 80 with the technology from an A4, things get tricky, especially when it comes to the exhaust system.

Thank you, I missed that point or I may have overlooked it above.

Hello,
I received a 1Z approval for Euro3 with an aftermarket catalytic converter.
Now I have a yellow sticker.
In the summer, the same company that offers retrofitting services is planning to release a particulate filter, which will then allow the vehicle to receive a green environmental sticker.

All of this, even in a VW Bus T3.

What kind of retrofit kit is this? (Please provide more information)

The 1Z already has a category.

SK-Handels AG, located in Passau.

Yes, that works.
...
But there's a catch to all of this:
ATTENTION!
Retrofitting is only permitted on vehicles.
- with a gross weight of more than 1660 kg for vehicles in class M1 (passenger cars).
- with an unladen weight of more than 1735 kg for vehicles of class N1 (trucks and special-purpose vehicles).
- with a permissible gross weight of more than 2500 kg

Bringing a G3 or an Audi 80 up to a 2.5-ton gross vehicle weight (GVWR) would likely be quite difficult.

Therefore, it must be: All of this, only in a VW BUS T3.
