Hi, I did it on mine, the VSS is a straight swap, there are two different drive VSS pinion ratios for the 2.0 16v though depending on the model/tyres.
The diff is easy enough, you might need to change the back plate depending on what mounting type it is, early cars had a single mount, later ones had a double mounting but the plates are interchangable.
You'll need to remove the back plate anyway as the two drive flanges for the driveshafts on the 16v diff are smaller and wont fit the 24v driveshafts
Take the drive flanges from your 24v diff and put them in the 16v diff
Thats it, 20mpg max and plenty fun but watch it in the wet
