Google translate may well be your best friend over the next week
I would imagine that the biggest job would be engine control via canbus. Maybe a piggy back ecu would be necessary?Manu speaks and writes English perfectly well, there's no issues there.
1.2 TSI was investigated a long time ago and the height was given to be the problem; not sure if the 1.0 would fit, that's a really nice motor in the Octavia I also run. 115PS / 220Nm is also perfectly acceptable

The only problem with a mk3 16v abf code is that it’s longer than any other 16v engine, I know this having had a few 16v conversions done on mk1 golfs, the manifold is a pain, if u wanted to go down the 16v route you’d better off with a corrado 16v 9A code as this is also 2.0 rather than the mk2 golf 16v engine which is 1.8, the power on the 9A is 139 which is down on the ABF at 150 but if u put a KR head on it you’d get slightly more than 150Just wondering if anyone has got a mk3 golf GTI?
If so, I could really do with knowing the dimensions of the engine and gearbox.
You can probably guess where my trail of thought is going.
I have done the 1.6 Leon engine into a 1.4 AUA car with Lupo sport top end .If u want ultimate and rare, buy a corrado 9A engine, get a scirocco inlet manifold and fit a nice g lader to it and you’ve got yourself a 2.0 16vg60 with power circa 270bhp ?

Yes, I was thinking.., How is shoehorning a different cars engine into the A2 going to work with the A2's electronics and sensors, ecu's etc..?Have you done a mock up yet? How does it look size wise and mounts?
I'm assuming you will be using the complete loom and ecu from the donar car?
Stop messing around everyone and put a 4wd Quattro engine and 4wd running gear into one ??...Yes, I was thinking.., How is shoehorning a different cars engine into the A2 going to work with the A2's electronics and sensors, ecu's etc..?
I am also thinking of fitting replacement engine in my spare A2, but now I'm thinking GTI Turbo, mmm.. Thx for that..

Been following those nutters for nearly 5 years ...Have you ever seen an episode of Project Binky on Youtube? Similar idea - Corolla GT-4 transmission into an original Issigonis mini..
Likewise .. mind you, could you imagine if they'd started with an A2 for a base - the amount of TIG welding to fabricate everything would have been quite astonishing and they'd probably still be on episode 3!Been following those nutters for nearly 5 years ...
