hello,
I'm doing a rebuild on my APY 1.8t and need a new block because mine has a damaged cylinder wall.
I was at the junkyards today and found a couple of options:
-2 liter N/A bora engine from 1999 with 06A021F MEXICO stamped on the block
-1.8 liter N/A a3 engine from 1999 with a sticker on the timing belt cover that reads *AGN
-1.8 TURBO VW sharan engine from 2004 (it was inside the car and they didn't let me touch it)
Now what would be the best option for a block replacement? obviously the 1.8t from the sharan but it has different mounting points to the body so i'm not sure it would fit. Is it possible to use the 2l bora block with my APY head? or the N/A 1.8 block?
Thanks!!
