Hi all
my engine blew in my mk4 golf van (con rod out the block)! I went to my local scrap yard and spotted a gttdi golf six speed, I think its 130 bhp. I have a deal done for the whole car and I plan (over the weekend) to convert the engine what work do I have ahead of me my Golf is 01 and the gtdti is 03.

Has any one done this before?
I presume clocks keys ecu engine bay wiring loom, accelerator pedal has to be changed!

I plan to use the whole drive train.

Am I putting a lot of wok on myself??

any one gone down this road before it can't be that bad?

what engine code is the van, i presume the crashed one is code AJM

i've just done something similar with my bora. went from 1.6 to 1.8t. i ended up using the full 1.8T loom. it was more straight forward than splitting looms. also there is difference's between 2001 and 1999 so you might have to use everything from the 130.
you will also need the convience control unit and the window control modules for the doors as well.

AJM was in the 00 6 speeds generally

The year doenst make any odds lads, I looked at a 2002 highline with the older non PD 110 engine, And it was from the factory.

that could easily happen, old stock just wasent bought until later, I saw a mk1 octy in a 2009 reg a while back? wtf like! I knew the AJM was in the 00's just didnt think of it, I thought the OP had been told it was a 130 and didnt want him to get fobbed of with a non pd remapped yoke, seen it so many times it unbelievable. It is 6 speed and the non pd's never had them IIRC so I presume its a 115 PD. If you have both cars side by side with everything you need I dont see it being to difficult tbh.

Im pretty sure that Skoda ran both the mk1 and mk2 Octy in tandem actually. the mk2 came in in '05 and ive plenty of '06,'07,'08 and '09 mk1s. Wierd eh?

The doner is a 00 gttdi and is suppose to be six speed (unless the gear knob was changed) there is recardo in her as well, I get the car Saturday I know more then. So any more thoughts on the conversion is this going to be a lot of work? I have the engine dropped out of the van so I start at the dis-assemble of the wiring it might be easer to use the whole loom???

Any one out there done something similar

cheers cbr vw
