#1: Would a 2.0 HDi backbox fit a 1.4 8v? (Update!) Author: Mike, Posted: Sun Oct 31, 2010 6:24 am ---- If so is it a direct fit or does it require a lot of work to fit? I only query it because I know people say 8v are interchangeable but not sure how it stands with the diesels?
Here's a picture, courtesy of mikey to show the one I'm referring too

if so just cut one off at the scrappy and pay a garage a tenner to just chop the end off your standard box and weld it on in the right place
with a bit of careful trimming to the old box will fit perfect as i chopped an end off an old gti exhaust at work and have done it on sports and non-sports bumpers

#5: Re: Would a 2.0 HDi backbox fit a 1.4 8v? (Update!) Author: Mike, Posted: Wed Nov 03, 2010 2:37 pm ---- What do people think of these two tips?
Should fill the gap without looking too big hopefully, which do people prefer?

this was my old 206 i did buy a 3.5"one but then felt it looked a bit odd being that big with no roar from the engine so got this smaller one instead
p.s. noooo its not an s16 lol
we are all young and foolish sometimes and i managed to blag it from the 206 factory when i went on a college trip so thought id whack it on haha

#8: Re: Would a 2.0 HDi backbox fit a 1.4 8v? (Update!) Author: Mike, Posted: Wed Nov 03, 2010 3:08 pm ---- Cheers mate, really helped! Definitely get a 3" instead of the 3.5"

Found one, same as the others just smaller
#10: Re: Would a 2.0 HDi backbox fit a 1.4 8v? (Update!) Author: rttam, Location: devonPosted: Wed Nov 03, 2010 3:14 pm ---- that one looks spot on mate
shouldnt cost very much to get fitted at all just need to trim the curved original tailpipe trim off with a hacksaw or pipe cutter and then a small weld around it job dont shoudnt cost more than £20 although im sure u could probably get it done for a tenner if you found the right place
