The '97 Cordoba 1.8 has done nearly 200k and I'm thinking about an engine swap if it's reasonably viable. Does anyone know what else would drop in? A 1.8T or even 1.9tdi maybe?

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

Both those engines will fit with work. Probably 50-50 as to which would be easiest. 200K isn't big miles for a VW engine really as long as it has been serviced well.

Lots of stuff that would fit. 2L GTI motor, or a VR6?
