Yes, recent VWs are front (or all) wheel drive (the air cooled ones were rear wheel drive). However, VW engines have been mounted both transversely and longitudinally in VWs, and have been put in rear wheel drive Volvos (the diesel ones) and VWs (Vanagon diesel had a Rabbit diesel engine in back). So theoretically a TDI conversion may be doable (and given that a V8 fits in a Volvo, the size of the engine should not be a problem). Of course, reality may be more difficult than theory.
