KimmyJFK Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Hiya i'm a random newbie so be nice... I bought my Arosa a couple of months ago and speaking to some people, Am i right in thinking that either a Lupo GTI engine is a straight swop for the Arosa or an Audi could someone help me and if so how much am i looking at. Piccis at the bottom of me and the motor (be nice) border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one litre wonder ;) Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 welcome to the club and nice to see another member to the candica (sp?) arosa group style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> about the engine swap for a Lupo GTi engine , the wiring looms and gearboxes are different i am affraid , to do the conversion you would need to change the whole wiring loom , engine , gearbox , clocks , pedal box and i think thats it . your easiest to buy an accident damaged lupo GTi or Polo GTi and that way you have all the parts you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
