I’m working on this conversion project and need some help / advice.
So I have 2 complete cars (golf R32 DSG and a golf TDI manual) both mk5.
I want to swap the TDI engine into the R32 Golf, keeping the 4motion and converting to 6sp manual.
DSG to manual 4motion conversion is almost done. No problems there.
Here’s the first problem i am facing and need help with:
Wiring.
The 2 cars obviously have different ecu plugs. The engine wiring is not a problem. (That is from engine to 1st ECU plug).
But the 2nd ECU plug going to the inside of the car needs to be changed. The tdi ecu is EDC16 and the R32 is ME7.1.
So is it best to cut the existing ME7.1 wiring and figure out the correct pinout to go to the tdi EDC16 ECU plug?
I don’t know if it possible to take out this complete wiring from the TDI golf and use it on the R32 golf. It just seems like a lot of wiring.
Any other possible issues i need to look out for?
Has anyone done this before?
