Even if it bolted on the engine, which I don't reckon it will as it fits the 2 litres. You have to get the mechatronics and ECU to talk.

What gave up on the first box? Do you have a tune on the engine?

yeah i get what you mean, it was my mechatronics first that gave up basically took it back to vw after 3 months of complaining that theres something seriously wrong with car then the first clutch pack gave up so my 1st , 3rd , and 5th gear was basically crunching while driving in almost all modes d ,s and paddle shift, i dont have a tune at the moment and probably never will because of how poor the gearboxes are in these cars but i ran a 14.4 flat lol on the quarter with that ****ed gearbox and under warranty got a new one.

From what I have seen the 1.8 litre and 2 litre engine blocks are the same, the 1.8 litre has the shorter (84.1mm) stroke compared to the 2.0 litre (92.8mm) while both have an 82.5 mm bore. There are of course other mechanical interchange issues, drive shafts, gearbox mounts, space etc Plus it would be unlikely that the gearbox ECU would be interchangeable.

I'd suggest upgrading the clutch packs and a gearbox ECU tune.
