Mk2, Mk3 subframe, Mk4 AGU - Does it work?

[Dave_IOW]

According to this, not.

Has anyone on here got a mk2, with a mk3 subframe with a 1.8t in?

Or am I going to have to get a mk2 subframe, reason I didn't use mine is it's a 1.3 and I believe I need a different one to bolt 1.8t onto.

1.3 is different to 1.6 and 1.8 which is why you needed a different subframe.

We'll soon find out if it works when the motor and gearbox are mocked up on the subframe.

Always interesting to hear if someone else has followed the same route though

Let's hope so too as I plan on fitting my mk3 diesel subframe + rack widetrack etc with an agu in the mk2 in the not too distant future.. Fitted the mk2 16v subframe rack etc when I went from 1.3, if I recall it looked the same, I just dropped them and swapped them for ease...

Out of interest, why a diesel subframe? Or was that just what you could get your hands on?

Mines mk2 on mk3 subframe with an agu bolted in dave. Fits up nicely.

we did a MK2 with a MK3 subframe, and a AGU with a CDA gearbox (mk3 ABF)

perfect fit, no issues

What mounts and brackets did you all use?

[lemski]

Am using abf mounts on mine. And an agu gearbox with a modified mk2 golf mount. Fits nice n snugg
