2.0tdi swapping r32 golf

[Schwartz499]

So I have just come across a 2.0 tdi motor out of a 2012 Passat and was looking at trying to swap it into a manual r32 golf and was wondering if that was possible and what should I do about wiring harnesses and stuff like that.

Well you'd need the ECU and engine wire harness. The ECU would have to be sent in to have the immo deleted.

Not to mention idk if the bell housing would bolt on that block. Be a neat project

Yeah I was reading some stuff about the bell housing. Maybe get a haldex trans from a Audi TT?

The VR6 bolt pattern won't work, while it is a similar arrangement, for reasons only VAG knows, the inline 4 gets canted 15 degrees to the back, the VR6 gets canted a few degrees to the front.

Also, you don't say if the R32 is the A4 (manual) car or the A5 (DSG) car. In either case, you'd need to source a 4 cyl gearbox to use.

Also, the CKRA engine from the NMS Passat would be the LAST 2.0L CR TDI I would want to use in any swap.

I would totally use it in an anchor swap on a barge.... just sayin.....

Agree need to know platform of R32 is it Mk4 or Mk5?

Which ever one I can find or would be easier

 

[oilhammer]

Well the A4 version would certainly be easier, as those are manuals... even though as I stated you won't be able to use the gearbox anyway, but dealing with a manual will already make the rest easier as you won't have that other control unit trying to talk to the others. You could possibly use a 1.8t TT quattro gearbox to make it happen.

The problem with MK4 cars is they K-Line protocol cars , and CR ECU is CAN Bus protocol which gets communications via Separate Can Gateway module.
2012 Passat reads speed via CAN BUS from ABS vs MK4 reads it from Speed sensor and this will probably put car in Limp mode and limited to 3000 rpm.
So Mk5 will be better choice for that car , and it can be coveted to manual 6 speed as well.

 

[oilhammer]

There is that, too (although 2000+ A4 cars have a CAN Gateway, but I understand what you mean).
