Diesel Focus, VW TDI Engine in a Ford Ranger?

Dec 13, 2004 2 Replies

A couple years ago I read a press release from Ford that said something about them testing out some Diesel Focus's... did that ever happen?



I'm looking for a diesel car that has more room than what Volkswagen offers, but less gas guzzling power than the big trucks and vans. If ford makes a smaller diesel engine I'd love to get one...



I noticed that the Volkswagen Jetta GLS TDI is roughly the same weight and has roughly the same hood as a Ford Ranger... I was wondering if it would be possible to put a TDI Diesel engine into that? I know people are having decent success putting the TDIs into Jeeps and even a couple Astro Vans.



Any ideas?



Thanks.


Yes. Ford has been selling a diesel Focus for years.
