Ecu needs to be matched to the immobiliser/transponder/ignition key else it won't start, so ideally you need all the bits from the same donor car. If you're REALLY lucky, (like me) the donor car's ignition key will be the same cut as the car you're OBD IIing.. lol! We used a 95 Passat for the bits and my car is an old '91 mk2, the keys were the same bloody cut, couldn't believe it.

Claire, I know you and Ian know one end of a spanner to the other, so it's a job you'll be able to tackle. I was lucky enough to get help from some guys who've done 'one or two' VR swaps over the years, as long as you get a decent donor car (we used a passat), a mk3 subframe, most of the bits are easy to find. I would deffo recommend changing the horrible 02A cable change shifter/cables to mk4 stuff, we've used R32 lever /cables and a 5 spd 02J shift tower in the 'box, the change is very precise and direct. Mine's a track day car as you know, so I wanted a diff, lower FD, cams etc, but you don

Over the 5 years including the £1900 I paid for the base car (roughly) it must've had about 10k thrown at it. Rix, that was a Schrick sump for the 4cyl

Couple of vids here, been posted elsewhere but thought I might as well add them here Note : - 02A cable change boxes can't be rushed as much as the old 020 boxes, hence a crunch on the downchange to 3rd on the first vid... Turn up the sound for some narrow angle V6 aural relief!

Cheers mate - big thanks to you and all the other dirty rascals for their help with the VR swap, awesome! Tried ringing earlier Will, still on the same number?

Met up with my olds mate Tub last night at a services on the M6 to drop off a tape with the footage on from Sunday. (which was a laugh in itself after a really funny conversation about gf Claire's R32 with a *very comical* DHL lorry driver from Leeds!) Tub's put up a couple of vids so far filmed early in the afternoon on Sunday. Cheers dude! Note : - 02A cable change boxes can't be rushed as much as the old 020 boxes, hence a crunch on the downchange to 3rd on the first vid... Turn up the sound for some narrow angle V6 aural relief!
