Betcha never heard that one before.
After a long, sordid ordeal with purchasing a 1.9 TD, allowing the guy i bought it from to put it in for me (didnt have a garage or driveway at the time), realising a month later while my caddy was still in pieces in his garage he didn't know what he was doing(actually i figured it out after 2 weeks or so :x), finally getting the car back and finding loose or missing hose clamps, bolts, nuts, getting it in running order then having the timing belt fall off while driving(Did you do the crank mod? Yeah, yeah i did. :x :x :x) I now have to swap my original 1.6na back into the car.
Sorry about the long post, i had to vent
Does anybody have any tips on engine swaps? This will be my first VW one, and i know its always the little things. I can't seem to get a straight answer from the guy on what clutch he put in when he did the swap, so is there any way to tell if the 1.6 will fit it?
Also, if theres anyone on here in seattle washington whos willing to swap me an engine hoist/vw specialty tools in exchange for yard work/cleaning/any labor that would be a godsend as i am broke after this whole deal.
Thanks a lot.
P.S. I hate to be negative, but do not have any dealings whatsoever with a man named David Wright from Longview, WA. you will regret it.
