Hello. Am I able to do this method (crash bar off) with the ac lines connected? Can i move the compressor and condenser out the way? I cant drain the system as undriveable.
There is usually enough flex on the rubber part of the lines to let it drop below the engine or to the side but i cant say for certain because mine did not have a/c
Will be going through this shortly as my oil pump went randomly and seized the engine. She will love to see another day. What did u pay for engine if you don’t mind me asking I’ve seen a few about but all different prices…
Keeping in mind if did this years ago and before Covid when things were cheaper I payed 449 gbp for my engine which came completely with injectors and turbo
@@maxautouk prices are looking about right then. Any issues with coding or lights when you fitted? My only concern is having something appear and not the equipment to sort
Hi mate I am now in the same situation you was in when you swapped engines over did you fit the old diesel pump and injectors or did you have to code them thanks Aarron
Recently my polo has had thick white smoke coming out the exhaust and its making a awful knocking when accelerating. I actually kept the whole engine from my last polo which is the same make and model. Do you reckon its worth just chucking that old one into my new one rather than trying to fix it. It has been sat away for over a year but has no problems.
Hard to say without seeing it myself in person but if a good engine has been sat for a year or even more it will be fine to fit, what I would say is that it's an ideal time to check it turns over freely and do a cambelt prior to fitting it
Hie Max Attack, I have a 9N3 with a 1.4L BKY engine belt driven and 4 speed auto gearbox, is it possible to drop in a 1.6L BTS engine chain driven and its associated auto gearbox without alterations
@@maxautouk According to the workshop manuals for BKY and BTS engine, it seems they share the same ECU which with identification code J623 and physical appearance they look the same. Also according to the workshop manuals for 4 speed Automatic gearbox 001 fitted to BKY and 6 speed Automatic gearbox 09G, it seems they share the same transmission ECU which with identification code J217 but their physical appearance look different, so I might buy transmission ECU in case the wiring harness will be different.
The ecu will be programmed to a trim code for a manual car thay does not have a neutral safety switch, nor does it have a shift selector safety switch on the brake pedal so there would be some things you would have to change but I'm sure it's possible

I ordered mine by the exact engine code so I didn’t have any problems with comparability

I fitted a new pump and injectors and did not have to code them
Those injectors have a procedure to fit and set correctly too just so you know
Hi, how long does it take to fit? I have a 2008 bluemotion oil pump failed garage want £300 to fit another engine
Take a a day, usually and £300 is a very good price!

why must you do the cambelt? if i buy mine from a spares garage, would i still have to do the belt?@@maxautouk

Good question, I suspect it would not be plug and play because the automatic system uses different sensors and a different ecu

@@maxautouk noted, thank you for your wonderful contribution, I fill encouraged on the project.
Max você não sabe nenhum lugar que passa venda de motor aí de completo com chicote e módulo que faça a venda para o Brasil
Sorry no i don't
