Title: 2.0 8v questions (that i don't think have been asked before!)
Post by: Mew on 12 January 2007, 02:59

Got a couple of questions:

Is it possible to swap over the crank and water pump pulleys on a 2e bottom end to the mk2 variety so a mk2 alternator can be used? Will they all line up? (NO power steering btw)

Is the mk3 oil cooler swapped over for the mk2 one, as i noticed there are 2 electrical connectors on the mk2 but only 1 on the mk3.

I know the cam belt has to be mk3 but not sure about the tensioner. Is it mk2 or mk3?

Thanks

1. Yes, but I'd stick with the MK3 setup, its much better.
2. no need, just plug everything into the MK3 senders, it should have 3 holes for senders anyway, so remove the blanks and screw in any senders that are missing.
3. MK2 & MK3 tensioners are the same :)
