VR6 into a Mk2 FAQs

[lenzo]

hi
it is good you have a 90 spec the wiring is so much easier.
1] if your donor car is a golf you can use every thing apart from the pedal box and rad.
2] if your donor car is a corrado you can use every thing.
3] if your donor car is a passat you can use every thing apart from the cable shift you can use it but it is a bit to long.
to do the conversion it is not hard if you are good with mechanics it is straight forword.

if the donor car is a passat will it still be plug and play with the mk2 loom?

also will a manual tranny from a 2 litre mk3 GL bolt up to a vr6? or anyone have a manual gbox to suit a vr6? found a wrecked passat (auto) nearby!

4cyl and 6 cyl gearboxes are different. you will need to use an 02a gearbox which came in hydraulic (vr6) or cable change (cupra).

You need a VR6 manual gearbox, cupra box is not the same.

hi
yes it will be plug and play the vr6 wiring loom there will be 3 white connecter that go into your mk2 fuse box f,G1,G2 then there is a seperate red/yellow wire with a red plug that goes to one of the permenant live on your fuse box. use the vr6 gearbox if you can get a corrado vr6 box as the gears are better ,
