Caddy - Passat engine swap? Help/advice please!

Post by kian88 »

Hello,

So I have a 2L 3 cylinder naturally aspirated non turbo diesel piece of shit engine in the 2007 caddy from factory obviously. It seized up.

But I also have a 2008 VW Passat, with a 2L TUrbo Diesel.

I was wondering how easy this would be to swap? Has someone done it before? Or know as far as I may need to go with the conversation like changing the ecu. will I have to change over the whole of the wiring looms etc. and obviously I will also have to get an intercooler for the turbo to go over on the caddy.

Any information is much appreciated ! But I have this £800 engine just sat doing nothing so need to vitalise it!
Cheers!
