engine swap

[davidgtrr34]

I have 2004 gti with auq engine. The engine is blown and I was wondering is there much more work to putting in a different engine code because I live in Ireland and I cant find an auq engine anywhere here, the only place I can find them is in England. Would my wiring loom work with other engines or would I have to swap everything.

AUM code engines are identical to the AUQ so I'd start there.

[davidgtrr34]

would the ecu match up with the aum engine

Yup, only difference is the map

I couldn't find any good aum engine in Ireland but I found this on ebay it looks good to me, what ye think

I'd want proof of mileage before buying any engine, but it looks ok.

that's what I was thinking but I cant proof really unless I saw it in the car. It comes with a 1 month warranty so when I get it I will do every test known to man to find out the health.

you will need to throw rods an stuff in any engine anyway so why not just rebuild your own
