Update time!
i started the engine conversion yesterday, but made no progress because it took me the whole day to get my head round the wiring loom
big thanks to rubjonny for some advice. by the way anyone attempting this conversion it is NOT a plug and play swap
like most forums say it is
anyway today
be gone sh!tty 8v
that hole looks 16v shaped
its replacement
i also removed the wishbones, brakes, driveshafts, rack, old loom, full exhaust and fitted the passat wishbones and g60 brakes
more to come tomorrow
