EBAY LINKLooks in really good shape... Japanese take-out motor and transmission from a Golf. Bolt-in swap! Has AC compressor.
Ha Ha, Just found this thread. I bought this motor. I was just doing a search on doing an "ac delete" when it came up.
Motor is clean! great shape. Runs great, started it in the back of my truck when I got home.
It's my first VW. Now I want one for a DD!
This site is the best, has the most info. I went to wanting to know 100 things about this motor, to only 2 at this time.
Hey, good to hear from you! That engine looked really clean on the auction... What are you putting it into?
Do you live around the Poconos?
The motor is going into a rock crawler. going to be backed by a toyota trans with double transfercases. Full tube chassis, and chevy 1 ton axles. Thats why I wanted the AAZ, nice and basic, and easy to trouble shoot if needed on the trail.
Now that I've been reseaching it, I want a VW DD!
I'm near Scranton PA, not to far from the poconos. I grew up in Northern and central NJ.
Kinda doing the same thing here. I'm in the process of rebuilding an AAZ to put in my Suzuki Samurai. I also need to find the A/C delete bracket and pulley. I have an A/C pump if any ones interested!!
