One of the easiest Diesels to swap into the Metro would be the Briggs, which is actually a Daihatsu engine and was a factory option for the Daihatsu Charade in some markets during the 80s and early 90s, but as I quoted before, it would be hard to get the Metro registered after the swap due to the year of manufacturing and OBD-2 compliance.

It's not exactly impossible to fit a VW Diesel into a Metro. Some versions of the Suzuki Swift sedan even had a 16-valve 1.6L gasser, not to get into other engine swaps with Opel 2.0L gassers and the Peugeot 1.9L XUD9 Diesel...
