I just bought a engine for my mk1 golf and tomorrow I pick it up. Is there any parts I need from the Audi whilst I'm there?
Fyi

Second question long shot … I might take all the parts to Spain where my car is . So I need to take it all in one go as very expensive for parts in the Canary islands. 2k just for engine.
What other parts will I need for the engine change in my vw mk1 1.3. I'm going to finish the project I started 30 + years now I have the bullet in my mouth

Thought I'd put the response in your thread rather than poor SuperTeds post.
You want to ask him whether that ecu was from that exact same engine you're purchasing.
Re the wiring loom there is an engine loom which appears still connected to the engine and then there is the other loom which comes off the ECU that you require.
You need the matching looms for the engine or else you will have a nightmare wiring it up as there are many variations.

Or get another ECU with wiring loom which will then fit my engine?

As I mentioned the looms need to match and there are different variations. I doubt you will find that section available online and then be able to match it not knowing which variant it is
I'm telling you this as I made this mistake and I managed to find the other part of the loom but only after 6 months and it was on German eBay for a premium.
