I had a Skoda 1.9TDI which is the same engine and was a great engine until I trashed it by putting a hole in the sump :dry:

If you can get a 2.0 TDI, 140bhp, then your talking. Got one of those in my current Skoda. Would rip the J in half :lol:

That one wasn't a real Jimny. Only Jimny body, the rest was Range Rover.
