A3 2001 engine swap

[samwo1988]

Hi guys, 

I'm thinking of swapping my standard (non-turbo'd) 1.6 A3 engine and dropping a 2.0 TDI into it. Before I do, wanted to check if the chassis could handle the new weight and power?

Hi Sam hypothetically yes but you'll need to make sure the gearbox will be compatible and you have the correct engine mounts and probably will need to modify the loom.

Cheers

May have to change the suspension springs and check out the breaks ? Other than that all good
