What engines fit in the caddy? Do they use the same engine bars/crossmounts as a golf, touran......
What years would fit?
I know anything is possible but I'm thinking of the simplest way, wiring isn't an issue

Re: Engine conversions
Anything used in a PQ platform car will fit mechanically. 1.0-3.6 petrol and 1.6-2.0TDI
From the VW range you've got the Golf, Scirocco, Touran, Tiguan, Beetle, Eos, Passat, even some US and foreign market cars, all built on the same platform.

Re: Engine conversions
Just having a thought, everyone keeps saying that the 2.0tdi is the best engine to go for. You can pick up an 08-09 touran for under £800 with a 2.0tdi in.
Does that mean I would be better off buying a caddy (1.9?) with a wrecked Engine and a touran and swapping everything, engine, dash, rear seats, gearbox etc.
This is sounding more and more like a plan.....
