help needed
after getting my mix match engine that's been sat up for a.number of years to actually turn over I think it's in need of being stripped cleaned and played with but with time effort and money I'm thinking a complete engine swap is in order.
I've read the thread on here for the 1.8t mk4 golf agu engine and seems the way Il probably go,
ide like to know if other engine codes i.e auq aum are the same or different fitment wise and what is the best one to go for apart from the apx/bam route, also would it be best to buy a whole car or purchase in parts as I know the gearbox will be no good and adjustments will have to be made for brakes ect? any help would be very much appreciated

An employee from my local euro car parts just sold a complete Leon Cupra R with a fuel oil pump for 800
You can also pick up an mk1 octavia vrs with about 140k on it for 1k easy
If you are going to fully service the lump anyyway then the mileage doesnt matter
That way you get the engine, turbo, ecu, intercooler, wiring loom and all then little bits that you'll struggle to source unless you have a doner vehicle

Depending on what you buy to start with you may be able to break the rest of the car and make money back
All depends on space I guess
