Hello there,
Can anyone tell me how easy it is to swap from a 1.6 phase one gti engine, to a 1.9 engine, I.e. What items will I need apart from the lump? Is it plug and play with the 1.6 loom if I get the 1.9 ecu etc?
The engine that's in has self destructed it's timing tensioner and because of the age of it, all the bolts are corroded and most are snapped. I have priced all the parts and I can buy a used lump for the cost. I would have to pull the lump to fit the new parts anyway.
The 1.9 engine is only £20 more than a 1.6 so it makes sense to upgrade while I am at it.
Anyone carried this conversion out that can help me please?
Cheers, Neil.
