no its a 2 litre engine

You said a couple of posts above its a 1.8 driver

I think you will be lucky to get that all swopped and running in a couple of days, its a massive job and i can see there being quite a few differences between the mk2 and mk3 stuff for example fuel system and exhausts

Think he's got the mint 1.3 golf mk2, the donor 1.8 golf mk2 and just the engine/loom/ecu etc from a 2.0 mk3 (plus a very busy looking garage!)

yeah someone is reading,

anyway started the workl yestoday and as usal problems started ariving,

the mk3 engine had a hydraulic clutch on it so i had to find a full hydro clutch sytem then when i got back it looked like there was no way to mount a new clutch pedal as theres alot in the way on the bulk head,

second problem was the rear driver engine mount i would have to fabricate somthing but a mk2 gti mount fitted perfect and i have a mk2 gti gearbox now which also fits al i have to do now is find linkage,

while i could do anything yestoday i spent a good 2 hours polishing my engine bay so now its super shiney and looks sweet,

i also replace the hubs bigger discs new pads an disc put in a mk 2 fuel pump should be done tonight
