Hi all new blood here ive just registered. Had my golf for 2 months now and just been offered a 3.1ltr vr6 engine and gear box. Does anyone know if anything needs modifing to fit it? Or is it a "simple" drop in and bolt on?

Should be in the MK3 section but as your here :wink:
Aswell as the engine and box you will need
The engine Loom
The Ecu
The hydro clutch set-up (if yours is an early 8v the full pedal box out of a later spec mk3)
The cable change gear linkage.
New engine mounts
Twin rad fans
Clocks
Thinks thats about it :shocked: :shocked:

3.1 are you sure. :smiley:

Got all the above. Does it just drop straight in? And yes deffinately a 3.1 its not quite standard

It'd be worth finding out exactly what work has been done to the engine, if it is 3.1l then it is far from standard & it'd be a good idea to check everything has been done properly :wink:

sounds like a vr6 engine. you will need a vr6 subframe too
