It's physically possible but a big job not less because the TDI engine is controlled by an EDC which you need to install as well as changing the instrument panel(speedometer). If it makes financial sense under your conditions I can not say. Here en Denmark some workshops do this conversion, and it makes financial sense because the TDI second hand prices are high and stable, but gasoline cars like the Passat Wagon with high mileage can be imported relative cheap from Germany. An important reason why it makes financial sence here is that we pay 180% tax on top of the price for all new and imported second hand passenger cars.
