Just recent bought a 914 with a replacement engine 1.8ltr included. It turns out that this engine also is a goner, so I need to find a new one or find an alternative.
There is a Golf gti 20v AGU engine that I may get to buy from a neighbor, but I do not know if I can make use of it in my 914. Is there records that this one is useable. Generally, are the VW Golf engine convertible? What is the most easy or best engine to start looking for? Thanks |

The 1.8L 20V from the GTI is almost the same as the Passat. Main differences are the intake and cooling lines. If the motor comes from a manual tranny car, it will bolt right up to a Passat or Boxster tranny.
Do not buy an automatic motor or you will have to change the crank to a manual crank. Two motors are not interchangeable. A 1.8 and Passat tranny are easy to put in a 914. Ask me how I know... |
