Is it possible to replace my VW's gasoline engine with a diesel engine?

Question

I have a 2000 Jetta with 110,000 miles with a "refurbished" VR6 engine that i got from the dealer at 60,000 miles. The lifters have failed - the knocking sound is terrible and it barely can move. I've been told that I need a new engine (or a new car). Instead of scrapping this car or buying something else, I want to keep this one and put in a diesel engine - is this possible?

Answer 1

no...if a regular engine replacement costs 4K a oil burner will cost 6/8 K and no end of trouble...

Answer 2

yes vw did use a diesel in some of the jettas as well outher cars check with a vw macanic

Answer 3

Im no mechanic but Ive never even heard of a Vw with an orginal diesel
