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,

  • MK4 AVU to BFQ engine swap. Possible??

    Hi,

    I've got a 2001 MK4 1.6l engine code AVU, manual transmission with a damaged engine. Sounds like a rolled bearing - low oil pressure and sounding like a diesel truck. I have found a donor engine however its a 1.6l engine code BFQ, auto transmission but with very low kilometers. From what I can see, these engines look identical, however, I would like to ask here if they are and if anyone has attempted this swap. Also, will I need to swap the ECU and wiring harness as well?

    Cheers!
