Polo 1.6 AVY conversion into 1.0 AUC Arosa - Coding and Advice on Final Stages

[joe90k]

Hi All,

I am looking for some advice or a link to someone who has done this conversion or similar before.

Basically the engine is in and everything in the right place. We are in the process of splicing the Arosa's body loom with the Polo engine loom and have VW diagrams for both the Arosa and the Polo. We have the ECU for the Polo engine however does this need to be coded to the Arosa clocks? I have VCDS, but have no idea on this procedure or in fact if it needs to be done. Any advice would be great, we are planning on getting it running this weekend.

Cheers,

Joe

nope. the immob is nothing like the mk4 golf one and it doesn't go via the clock.

it's more like a golf mk3 one.

Rich has all the knowledge you require, but he will make you work for it.

Right i think ive found the right people to ask at last my mighty 1996 vw polo 1.4 8v failed mot on a tonne of stuff far more than what the car is worth but the engine is still running like a dream so ive taken the engine out and bought a 2002 1.0 seat arosa with a blown engine because i heard that my engine would fit straight in with no complications on looking ive found the wiring loom is competley different so ive taken it out of the polo to go in the arosa but now ive found that my old polo has a rod gear linkage where as the arosa has a cable gear linkage completley different and my polo has a throttle cable where as the arosa has a electric trottle with sensors what can i do about these problems has any body had any experience with this engine change? 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
