Hello all,
I currently have a mk3 golf 1.8 ADZ block, but i have been offered a 2.0 DOHC block (unsure on the engine code) but im just wondering what else do i need from the donor vehicle ??
any help is appreciated
-
well you would need all the engine wiring ECU keys key reader engine mounts exhaust maybe some interior wiring if clocks are different are you breaking donor car before transplant????
-
thanks mate, i was gonna grab the ecu, engine loom and mounts, i bought most of the exhaust yesterday to put onto my 1.8 but will grab downpipe with the block. will the mounts be a straight fit ?
unfortunately i am not breaking the car myself, so want to grab whatever i need whilst i can, before the shell becomes a cube :/

if you want to be safe maybe even front sub-frames from engine drive shafts hubs ect... then you know you have everything
-
As yours is a cabrio and 4 stud wheels you will need to look at uprating the brakes as well.
-
if you get all the hubs and everything like that you could do and easy brake upgrade change rear hubs to do 5 stud conversion.
-
Well im getting the rear beam, so may aswell get the hubs, the guy has said I can have anything I want from the bay, and I guess the front hubs are under the bay so wont need to pass anymore money, think I may do that, however ill need new wheels too, anyone want some castellets ....
