Marneus 78 Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Evening all. Over the next 6 months I'll be swapping my VR6 over to the GTi I just bought. With them both being '96 cars am I correct in thinking that they're both OBD2?Are the engine looms anywhere near the same? I know I'll have to change the full loom but would that be it? I'll have the full car to strip so have everything just need some pointers as I've never done an engine swap before, my mate will be doing most of this as he's the mechanic but I'd like to know beforehand what I'll need as I want to prep the car before it goes up to him for the actual swap. Thanks in advance Jamie Link to post Share on other sites
tkoral 6 Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 You will definitely have to swap out the engine loom along with ecu. Keep in mind that VRs use a hydraulic master for the clutches rather than cable. The Ce2 wiring is pretty simple. Number all of your electrical connections when stripping the car and a have a Bentley near by. Good luck Link to post Share on other sites
