So I've recently sold off a bunch of my projects and I have a leftover BEW engine from my trashed 2005 Golf in excellent shape. I've been trying to sell it locally but I'm just getting low-ball offers (e.g., "I'll take it off your hands for $100 if you deliver it.")
Today on CL I find a 2002 Golf for $500. It's in good shape, just minus an engine.
So I'm thinking about about getting chocolate in my peanut butter and combining the two.
What I fear is that it needs two wiring projects:
1. Ditch the automatic gearbox and install a manual 5-speed.
2. Somehow wire in the BEW engine where once an ALH belonged.
The mechanics are easy enough for me to do, but the wiring seems like a nightmare. Does anyone want to offer some advice? If I can do it it's cheap project. If I can't it's yet another project that will sit forever. I know that I'll need a lift pump in the tank. But beyond that I don't know if any parts of the harness will mate up.
I'm open to ideas and opinions.
Thanks!
