[jonny13]

my poor galaxy has done 245000 now and needs a new second hand engine,will any afn engine fit from a passat,audi etc any advise would be gratefull

On the VW range of engines it's the letters that decide what engine it is so as long as the engine letters are the same then yes it should fit. One word of warning the other models of cars in the VW range may us a similar engine but not the same code so check for the engine code first on a lot of them its on the top of the cover over the cam belt

 

Best wishes

Hi, I fitted a 1Z (90 hp) passat engine in my MK1 Sharan. The bolt for the engine supports were smaller on the passat engine, but they were in the same position on the engine block so all I did was to drill and make new bigger treads. I used the clutch from my old engine and then my 5 step manual gearbox fitted without problem, but as mentioned this was a 1Z engine.
