Hey guys,

This is my first post here and apologies if it's in the wrong section.

So about 2-3 weeks ago I bought a 2010 Volkswagon Jetta 118 TSI (CAV). The engine died a few days ago and was told it needed to be replaced. I made the mistake of putting normal Unleaded petrol in and not premium which would have contributed

After a bit of research I've seen that this is a pretty common issue with this engine. So I've found a replacement engine that belonged to a 2011 Jetta 118 TSI CAV. My question is will this 2011 Jetta engine be a perfect fit into my 2010 Jetta? My engine number is CAV140584.

Is an engine from the 2011 model better than the 2010 one? I read that the Eco Mapping in the 2010 model contributed heavily to the engines getting damaged is that right? That was why I was looking for a 2011 engine so I could be sure that it came from a car that didn't have issues with the eco mapping.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks guys!
