Guest markeyboy Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 you should be able to do a direct swap from non powered to powerd without to amy issues, pretty sure everything is a direct fit if ya havnt got ur 1.6 engine it may be worth buying a mk5 with the engine you want and power steering there should be some about destinded for the scrap heap (assuming they aint all been traded in for 2k off a new moter) failing that the breakers yard would probably be ur best bet, unsure on price tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if i went too big wont be able to afford insurance cause im only 16 atm 17 soon tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if i went too big wont be able to afford insurance cause im only 16 atm 17 soon tho Thats why i'm tellin u to clean out the breathers on that engine you got cos the one of the reasons maybe why your other engine threw oil everywhere was cos of blocked breathers, i had a 1.6 efi that blew oil into the airbox and used to run down the inner wing lol ! Thats a nice dry engine u got there so should be ok but check them anyway. Might wanna change that v v carb for a Weber at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
