Yes you can, but as Evilgoat said you have to adapt the wiring to fit as things are in different places.

I am soon to be doing this to my 200tdi soon once the engine is put in the new shell.

Depends on how electrically minded you are!

Why do you want to change the dash?

Sounds like a lot of aggro.

My 300TDi dash is curling all over but I can live with it! Think about it carefully.

Wiring may not be THAT simple.

The 300tdi has that dam multifunction unit, its more than just switches :(
