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... Or you could shave off the crank and put a different pilot bearing on an automatic.. Remember, my engine was an auto. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Agreed but that still means pulling the crank and a rebuild. Nope, you can do it with the crank in place. I did mine with an angle grinder (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) That takes balls... Most mortals would not attempt such a mod. |

I think I recall that the Starter will not work, on a stock 914 Transaxle on these engines so as noted you will need not only an engine but a transmission as well.
By the way..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) |

He's in Europe and front wheel drive VW and Audi transmission are cheap over there. Specifically Diesel transmissions which have a nice long gear ratio. FWD and Manuals are much more prevalent over there in the Audi's than over here. People will buy the higher model car, but the base engine/transmission as they are used to a stick shift and dont want to pay the insurance for the larger engine class. |

I noticed he hasn't been back yet, did we scare him away?
Is the car up for sale now? |
