Krister, I'm moving this Introduction thread to our Modified section where you will get more responses. Pete

As far as the AX5, it was intended for use behind a 4 cylinder engine or the old V6.
Not a bad transmission. It won't hold up to Jeep's 4.0 straight six cylinder though.

 

I'm not familiar with the European versions of TDIs. I know y'all seem to have more powerful TDI engines in Europe. Here in the US, a TDI swap is a pretty popular swap for an XJ. The ALH engine code 1.9L TDI is the go to for these swaps. The ALH came with 90hp, but with a bigger turbo and a proper tune, I've seen them at around 180-200hp. Of course, the torque number is what these engines are all about. I know I'm ranting... lol.

Good luck with your build!
