guildford Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Hi People - my beloved Passat 1.9tdi 90bhp 1998 needs a new AHU engine, my question is will an AHU engine from a 2003 Golf/Beetle fit the passat. Any advice most welcome. Thanks Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nealw Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 I don't think the Golf engine will fit, as the engine in the golf is fitted transverse not sure about the beetle. As I say this is only my thoughts so I may well be corrected. As a matter of interest how many miles had your engine done before going pop? Good luck with your new engine!

guildford Posted September 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 138k - no warning noise no lack of power - just changing into 5th at 50mph and bang. Car has FVWSH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wobby Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Thats not supposed to happen! Was it driven badly by a previous driver? It still shouldn't blow up at 138k Good luck with the replacement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guildford Posted September 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Funny that's what the vwchap said - I've had the car from 80k and have maintained the regular service history all stamped up. But just need to know what vw cars share the same engine. Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NunchukHamster Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Didn't someone else ask similar question a couple of weeks ago? Mulkbear had an answer about the engine change I think. Alternatievly, it could just be that my head is shot away having just come in from work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
