georgen Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 The mechanical is nothing, the electrical on the other hand is, easiest way is to strip interior out, strip dash out, take front off car, take engine and box out, take complete wireing harness out, now fit polo harness you will have to do some plug work and if you have central locking and electric windows it will be a pain, then put it all together again. ps No, ARC or AVY code engines will not run off AWH wiring and Ecuwould be easier if you got lupo gti harness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And awh cable throttle?depends on year but if your awh loop has a cable throttle, you will need fly by wire throttle then, not exactly a deal breaker tho. cos if you use harness it just plugs in Edited June 10, 2012 by georgen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
