hi guys i no im always posting for help, but im retarded lol. will an obd2 engine replace my aaa engine without much work.

all golfs are AAA mate - which engine do you currently have in an obd1 or 2 ?

[cabrioman 6]

if you only need to swap the head and block there is no difference the difference between obd 1 and 2 is the engine management and the idle control ie isv and intake manifold

Scuse me for being dull. Am I right in thinking the aaa engine is a vr6 obd1? If so what is the obd2 known as?

[garrett281083 0]

so if i bought an obd2 engine it would be an easy job for mechanic to do. would i get a noticeable amount of power.and is it worth it.ifigure as the engine is only 260 if i get more power its gotta be worth it.gettin chains replaced is double that easy.

OBD stands for on board diagnostics. All golfs regardless of obd are 100% interchangable. an engine out of a later car will give you NO extra power

cheers rikki your help is appreciated. whats the best way to tell if my chains need doing. my m8 said rev it to 1500 and listen for rattles. i can hear the chain moving but it dnt sound like rattling.im also getting bad idle problems when dipping my clutch at junctions. recently had a decat, im thinkin the lambda cud be damaged. what do you think does it sound right. cheers.

Try cleaning out the throttle body and isv....that could be the revs dropping!
