My TDI beetle is falling apart , I bought a 2.0T 2007 GTI i planned on fixing up finding out the heads trashed.
Info : done many swaps before just wanted to know the basis of the motor mounts, Axles etc. Having both cars side by side looks super possible.
Any extra info would be great i know i will have to either have the computer flashed or move over my ignition for the key-chip.
Thanks |

Since the MK5 uses canbus, it needs to think that an engine is in it and running for things like electric power steering, abs, etc to work. It's not just as simple as as defeating the immo on the ecu and go.
On the TDI Tiguan, which is basically the same swap, it required piggybacking the TDI ecu onto the key swiched side of the 2.0 ecu, then using the 2.0 crank sensor on the TDI to trick the car int thinking it still had a 2.0 in it and running. It also used the TDI throttle pedal with a custom bracket to fit.
