Hi all.

Doing the mandatory post lol.

I don't really like VWs that much tbh...hassle city with both a golf and a polo.

I have a 2010 1.2L turbo 6 speed and just did an engine swap to a 2013 motor thanks to a weak timing chain.

I'm a few hours away from finishing the transplant and have noticed some slight differences even though both have the same CBZB engine coding. Figured I'd jump on here to hunt for some knowledge if I need it.

Peace out

Sorry to hear about you needing to do an engine swap

Suggest posting up any questions in the Mk6 forum area or in the specialist area for best visibility: http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/f55/

Though the number of people attempting these sorts of conversions/engine transplants is going to be small.

Sorry for the delay in reply!

Glad to say it worked. The only things I encountered were:

-The manifold onward from the old motor had to be attached to the new one (inclusive of turbo) as there is a difference in the turbo outlet angle and;

-There is a rubber hose attachment which enters the rocker cover then goes into the firewall of the 2010 polo. On the 2013 motor, this hosing simply joins back into another hose located on the engine via a T-piece. I just changed it to reflect the 2010 setup.

You are right....there is bugger all advice out there for this particular job! Simple things like drive shaft lubrication specs and some torque settings take awhile to source even with the help of VW.

Thankfully it runs like a boss now. The 2013 motor feels way smoother and I managed to do the clutch right.

Thanks for your input Tigger and if anyone ever needs to swap a motor for a 2010 Polo....well....let me know haha.

Nice job!

Good to hear you got there in the end and your car is back on the road.
