Complete mk4 1.8t into mk1?
I have got a complete mk4 1.8t donor to convert into my mk1. Is there any reason I couldn't use everything from the mk4 ie harness, ecu, clocks etc and fit into the mk1. It hasn't got to look that pretty as its a track car!
Cheers

Can the standard 1.8t gearbox and linkage be used? (i think it is a o2a) if so where can I get a mounting to suit?
Mk4 gear box out the 1.8t is a 02j mate and get them of ebay or just caddy or crazy quiff ect

I have found the cambelt side one £80. I think I have the gearbox side one but it's £150! Can I use my original rear mount?
You mean the dog bone leg mount at the bottom back if so no you should get two brackets for the gear box the one for the side and one that comes off the back that fits the mk1 rear mount this replaces the dog mount.

Yer there the two you need mate the one without the round part goes on the back and connects to your block mount on the mk1

Should be fine i used mk4 and ran it in the exhaust tunnel some people say the cables are to long but mine fit spot on
