Hi everybody

I must admit i am new to the polo scene but now have a good intrest as my girl friend has just fell in love with her second one......... a 1.05ltr AAU code engine polo coupe.

The first one was great and i only needed to do basic maintenance (which was a nice change)

She had a small fopar in it and now i have a spare mk3 polo 1.0ltr AEV code engine and gearbox and loom.

The new car has a blown head gasket and i was wondering if i could drop the AEV lump in to the AAU coupe chassis?

Will they drop straight in on the same mounting points?

Will the drive shafts and suspension fit ok?

Electrics aint a problem as i have the full car to play with

not too up on engine codes

but if they are both mk3 polo engines, it will drop straight in.

change the loom to the right one just in case. mounting points on all mk3 engines are in same places

Here comes the MK debate.

A 1.05 AAU is a Mk2F engine, called a Mk3 on this forum.

The 1.0 AAV is a Mk3, but called Mk4 on this forum.

Basically he's asking will a mk4 1.0 fit in a mk3? I don't know.

tobyk, your rite on the money my friend :-D

i am glad you posted to clear that up as i have been scanning through this forum and that has been confusing me...................

so basicly will a mk4 1.0 fit in a mk3?

can any body help?
