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)

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?
