I am seriously considering an engine swap myself. Hopefully by next winter I'll have the money saved and my parts list put together. I will likely be using euro spec spec Isuzu parts to build the first ever (unless someone beats me to it) DIESEL VX. We share enough parts with Troopers and Rodeos that there shouldn't be much to do in the way of custom fabrication, so I believe this is the simplest way to go diesel in a VX.

There is also an Isuzu direct injection 3.5L V6 that may be worth taking a look at as an upgrade.

You guys must have got the address wrong. I've had seven vw's and been on the site for years. vwvortex.com go to forums - volkswagon - phaeton. The Phaeton is or was the flagship model with the W8. It actually was a rebadged Audi A8

What about a V10 VX Tdi?! Scha-weet!

Scha-weet indeed. I think it had somewhere in the range of 500lbs of torque.

Man if u could fit a v10 tdi in there that would be amazing. I am no mechnical nut but I dont think it would fit. LOL but yeah we can dream i guess.
