Engine & Gearbox / Re: Engine - Easiest swap into 1.6 CL?
Thanks for your reply. I’m guessing swapping out the fuel pump, lines, ecu and loom is relatively straightforward?

If not, it may be a chance to look at a 1.8t?

My aim though at this stage is to get the car running as quickly as possible without spending too much time or money, then I can focus on future upgrades etc

Engine & Gearbox / Engine - Easiest swap into 1.6 CL?
Hi all,

I've recently aquired a 1990 CL with a 1.6 Carb engine. The engine is in pieces and will take quite a bit of time to rebuild. My question is, are any of the other MK2 engines plug and play? Could I upgrade to a GTI engine or will I have issues with ECU and fuel injection etc?

Thanks
