Mk2 VW Polo Upgrade Gone Wrong: Diagnosing the twin cam AFH Engine Swap!

  • I Bought this Unfinished Volkswagen MK2 Polo Project with a engine swap from a mk3 polo/lupo. I think its a 1.4 but could be a 1.6 not 100% 🤦‍♂️ turns out the electronics are in a bad way and need some serious sorting, and as for the engine itself fingers crossed it can be saved!!
    please if anyone has any info on where that cam timing marks should line up I would be very grateful!
    thank you very much for watching I hope I'm not too far in over my head with this one!

    Your young enough to make a good living out of this venture, trust me your making all the correct mistakes and choices, yep sounds odd but I've been there, correct mindset is the win, great channel.

    Looks like a decent start place for a project, very rust free example. Hope you get some good feedback on fixing that engine issue, as with a bit more power, it would probably be a fun little car, just watch out for the nonassisted brakes they scared the s out of me when I drove one!

      Thank you! Yess I had one a while back the brakes are shocking!! I think if I get this roadworthy then that is a must do upgrade!!!

    Could be manifold blowing too making the tappet noise louder

    I owned one of these decades ago. Easy to maintain, reliable, no frills. I think mine had a 1200cc engine. Unfortunately someone ran into me and the car was a write off. I think that was 1994.

    The drivers side engine mount n eds a plate fabricating as there's only two bolts.. this is why you had to fabricate an alternator bracket. Wouldn't trust the engine mount with only two bolts, need to make a plate that ties the engine mount and alternator bracket together (further down the engine)

    Its got the wrong ecu in it I have the same engine in a skode felicia estate the immobiliser you just need to polo 6n immobiliser box and key it need the switched ignition and earth and it uses kline to talk add a obd port... ecu uses power switch power kline and power out to fuel pump check power to coil pack sounds like no spark if immobiliser it will run then die

    I definitely think it sounded tappety. I was going to suggest checking the oil, as it could just be low oil or the wrong spec. However, seeing the state of the head, I think what you have said is a fair assumption. If you have access to an ultrasonic tank this would be a good way to clean them.

    I’m sure clocks are coded to the ECU, try unplugging the clocks when it’s running

    Slaughterhouse customs are a classic VW specialist and do engine conversions. Bet they knew the engine was toasted

    The company on the decal on the back of the car, has a TH-cam channel too. Maybe worth a peek to see if there’s any clues as to what’s gone on before you got it?

    I’m not going to be any help on the engine situation but as far as value in the purchase, I’d say a decent, pretty much rust-free, Bread Van without a motor in at all would be a good buy for £500 for a project car. If no go on that engine then it would be a good candidate for a turbo diesel conversion perhaps? Not necessarily for you but an option for someone if you sold it on. But let’s hope a good internal clean up fixes the tapping and you can carry on with what you already have. 👍🏻
