#1 of 273 can i swap 1.8 liter mk2 engine for a mk3 2.0 liter engine by jetta9 Sep 18, 2006 (6:44 pm)
i have a 1990 mk2 jetta 1.8 liter, i was wondering if i could swap a 1997 mk3 jetta 2.0 liter engine and what is involved in doing it? Replies to this message: defn1ear (Oct 29, 2006 8:23 pm)
#2 of 273 You can but WHY WOULD U? by defn1ear Oct 29, 2006 (8:23 pm)
Replying to: jetta9 (Sep 18, 2006 6:44 pm) You can but WHY WOULD U? IS THE 2.0 FREE? I would search for a 20 valve 1.8 turbo, or a vr6 of some sort. I would even consider turbo/super charging the 1.8 u already have. It would be about the same cost by the time u factor in labor. And you need the 2.0 tranny, ecu, the wiring harness. You will also probably need to upgrade your radiator so buy it from the transplant 2.0 car. Try to buy it all together, the ecu, raddy, engine, tranny..   Theres a ton of Mk2 engine upgrades that i would consider before a 2.0 transplant. Its not a fast engine and to supercharger or turbo it its at least 2500$$$ .. for a good staged system. Spend your hard earned dough wiser.

#5 of 273 My Jetta is HURTING! Please help out by robkigali Nov 13, 2006 (4:17 pm)
I have a 1997 Jetta Jazz and just recently the power has just died. I attempted to drive up a reasonably steep hill and it couldn't make it in 2nd, downshifted and it died in first....you could push the gas pedal to the floor and nothing. It continued to drive, but again, most times, you can sink the gas pedal and there is no/little pick-up. It also bucks when it is running at low RPMs. I live in Manila, Philippines and it will cost me $1500.00 to hook it up to the computer diagnostic at the dealer. Trying to avoid this. Any ideas of what may be happening here? Any information will be helpful and appreciated.   ManilaRob Replies to this message: jetta7 (Nov 16, 2007 8:35 am) aramr (Jul 28, 2009 4:20 pm)

Replying to: thal (Dec 16, 2006 3:15 pm) You are out of warranty. Could bargin with dealer for some sort of discount since belt is not supposed to be changed until 80K service.
