I figured I should start a thread on installing a "AHU" TDI into a Golf II as there seems to be lots of questions about this floating around out there.
The car that I doing the swap in isn't an "average" Golf II - it is the limited production Golf Country with Syncro all wheel drive.
1990 Golf Country
As you can see the Country has a factory installed body lift installed. It is accomplished by a sub-frame that goes between the body and the suspension parts. This actually gives me a few advantages when installing an engine in this car as there is lots of room in the engine bay and the engine sits on the suspension so it is lower too. Running a nice straight exhaust to the back will be a lot easier than most vehicles too - especially Syncros!
1.8L Digifant II engine
So over the next little bit I'll be sharing my experienes installing a 1998 AHU TDI engine into this vehicle.
