Afn To Ahj Engine Swap?

[meatwagon]

hi. first post on here so hello all!

i have just had a head drop off a valve on my 99 galaxy ghia x tdi AFN with the usual result. a lot of bent metal!

i've found another engine with AHJ 202 351 on it. it looks the same as my AFN engine apart from the size of the turbo.

can i swap the sensors and turbo over and use it or is this not possible?

 

many thanks. steve

hi

as far as im aware it will fit but to get your 110hp power fit as u say the injectors and turbo, or whay not swap just the head over as their identical. be carefull taking injectors out as its best to use a slide hammer to pull them, sounds daft but i use vinegar overnight soaking round the injectors as it attacks the carbon. Forget bout wd40 and the like it dont work.

also change the timing belt and pump

hi zorgman. thanks for the info on this.

cant do a head swap as the AFN head is more than a bit mangled! i'd not thought much about the injectors/glo-plugs. are they different spec to the AFNs? looks like it could workthough.

after that, the clutches look slightly different. i suppose it would be better to use the AFN flywheel/clutch if it comes off without special tools?
