Hi,
I'm new to the forums, but have been a fan of VW's for a long while.
Over the years, I've attempted the odd project, including a '69 Beetle for my G/F that never went anyway (nor did the relationship in the end), and since 2011, have been daily driving a 2005 VW Golf TDi Comfortline 1K.
I've decided to take the plunge into a project car, which will have an odd path to completion. I've just picked up a 2011 VW Caddy 2KN 1.6L TDI with a blown 7 speed DSG. The eventual plan is to convert it to electric, using Nissan Leaf parts. In the meanwhile, I want to get it up and running, so need to fix/replace the DSG.
I have the opportunity to grab a 2010 Polo 1.6 TDi with a 7 speed DSG that's a stat write off at an extremely good price, so I hope the parts will be enough to get the Caddy going, and will allow be to add a better steering wheel and front seats (the rest will be available if anyone needs parts for a 2010-2015 Polo).
Anyway, I look forward to learning a bit more on how to splice these two together. I do have a VCDS cable (I planned on putting a RCD510 into my Golf), but haven't really played with it.
