I need to khow the types of bypass/mods I will need to make for my TDI to accept Mexican diesel?  I will be using my 2009 Jetta TDI in Mexico and I would like to insure that I won't destroy my powerplant.

Thanks

I would probably remove the DPF if you're planning on running Mexican diesel fuel. I don't think they have the same regulations in terms of maximum sulfur content in fuel. I hope this doesn't get to you too late.

Mexico doesn't have ULSD so you're gonna need to do the DPF delete, otherwise you'll need to buy one to replace it.

IIRC, it's still upwards of 750 ppm for sulphur.
