Ready to race!
I have a 2011 GTI 2.0t CCTA engine. My timing got completely screwed up and the repairs will cost more than it will be to buy a new engine. (around 5k vs 3.5k)
I found a decent engine from a 2011 Tiguan with 55k miles. I read around that the Tiguan has the same engine as the GTI. Only difference is that it doesnt have the turbo (which I can salvage from my car and install).
Has anyone ever swapped engines with a Tiguan or can you re-assure me that they are completely compatible? I am gonna have to shell out $3,500 for this thing and dont want any room for error, so I came to the pro's. Please help! Any advice/input would help.
