Are you putting a 1.8 T engine into a 1.4 then ?

If you're doing a swap like that, you will need a matching loom for the 1.8T.
The loom and the fusebox will be different as the 1.8T lump has a whole load of different stuff to connect to, especially a different ECU, clocks and engine sensors.
Check out Ashmond's project thread, he put a 1.8T into his Mk4 1.4, so it shows what he had to do:

20v, it has been deemed that you start a project thread or at least a dub rides thread.  :cool:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

speak to 'JV' (the first to reply). Send him a message and he should sort you out. You know how to upload pics right? if not then there is a 'how to' guide on here. :smiley:

I wouldnt use a 1.4 dash loom. It may have certain functions missing. Ive never done it myself though

VW breakers/forums are your best bet.
