Enigma Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 jsut to check a 1.4 polo engine and gear box is pretty much a straight swop for my 1.0 litre engine ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The subtle modder Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 as far as im aware my 1.4 8v arosa engine is identical to the polo mk5's so i see no reason why it wouldnt except for differences in mounts and shafts etc wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted June 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 well the guy i was buying it off had a word with vw and they told him it would be a big job to swap the enigne and gearboxes ova and it would be a hybrid kind of engine :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The subtle modder Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 thats what vw would say they think an air freshener would alter a car to much, my dealers nearly cried when they noticed that my recaros werent factory fit and then the barstewards got copper grease on them style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":evil:" border="0" alt="evil.gif" />honestly if your thinking of it ask tigz as this is basically what hes done except his is the 16v lumpwayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luiscamino Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 subtle modder can you post some link to tigz's?this is what i want to do too, but am wondering would there be any chance that keeping the 1.0 gearbox allowed some kind of... more fun perhaps? i would have to change the clutch because it's rubbish but if we can avoid the gearbox change that's a lot less money and work isn't it.

Swoxy Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 When I first signed up here I was warned about the 1.0, but I still went ahead and bought one! Decided to keep it clean, spend some time on thes sound system and make it 'show' cause it sure as hell won't go. My theory's that if you drive slow everyone can see your rims style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will my engine fit on the arosa's gearbox and what the hell can i do about the throttle do i take the old throttle linkage out of the polo drill a hole in the firewall and set it up like that any helps appreicated because at the moment im left with two stripped down cars that aint no use to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
