Hello!
Buy me a 150 HP engine tomorrow that I can install in my car (AFN).
wants to join in.

I was wondering how much effort it would take to accomplish that.
The motor includes:
Engine wiring harness, control unit, dashboard, ignition switch, turbocharger, and exhaust manifold. Unfortunately, the alternator is missing.

The parts are from a 2001 Volkswagen Golf, model 4.
I want to transfer as much as possible from my account.
I'm curious to see how long the transmission will last and how well it will perform.
The box then vibrates. I've read that the motor is relatively rough.
should run icon_biggrin.gif

Regards, Bacardybreezer.

I've also heard about the rough running icon_lol.gif. Some people even think that a 130 PS PD engine is better (preferring 20 fewer horsepower to the unstable engine running). However, there might be problems with the transmission. I believe (please correct me if I'm wrong }) that the transmission from the AFN engine is perhaps a bit overwhelmed by the torque of the 150 PS PD engine.

hello
Hopefully, you won't have any issues with the immobilizer because the engine control unit works together with the switch panel.
'Because when replacing the engine control unit, it's usually necessary to make an adjustment in the dashboard panel.'

Hello,

That is correct. However, it can be accomplished with a diagnostic device.
Tschüss

Hello there!
Buy me a 150 HP engine tomorrow that I can install in my car (AFN).
wants to join in.

I was wondering how much effort it would take to accomplish that.
The motor includes:
Engine wiring harness, control unit, dashboard, ignition switch, turbocharger, and exhaust manifold. Unfortunately, the alternator is missing.

The parts are from a 2001 Volkswagen Golf, model 4.

Greetings, Bacardybreezer.

That's so stupid.

Did I drive from Stuttgart to Berlin yesterday?
Regarding the engine...

Unfortunately, the information I received over the phone was incorrect.
not entirely correct...

Control unit, instrument cluster (WFS). A Zünschlöß was present.

AABER.

'The mass airflow sensor is missing, which costs around 300 euros. The alternator is also faulty, and a new one would cost around 700 euros. Additionally, the engine wiring harness and the wiring harness to the instrument cluster need to be replaced, which would cost approximately 700 euros altogether.'
Too bad, it would have ended up being 'a bit' more expensive than planned.
Interestingly, the years also didn't quite match up.
Some modules had the year '98' printed on them, while others had '99' or '01'.

I then let it go icon_sad.gif.

Best regards, Bacardybreezer.
