CDL Manual Engine swap to fit dsg box

(1/2) > >>

MrFernze:
Hey guys/girls,

Just needed some information or a point in the right direction, its my first engine swap and I have a AXX DSG that is going to be CDL, which I just bought this morning. Is the manual swap to dsg just a simple bolt on or do I need anything else for it to be possible?

Regards,
MrFernze

Mechanically it's all bolt-on but you might want to check driveshaft lengths vs manual.

Did you get the Engine and transmission ECUs and harnesses from the CDL donor car?

Hey Pudding,

Thanks for the reply, I think I may have confused you with the title. I meant to say that; is the engine swap from the cdl just a standard bolt on in regards to which ever trans? I will be transferring my DSG box to the CDL donor and using my existing harness etc, with the addition of doing all the preventative maintenance with some stage 3 preparations etc

pudding:
Yep that is what I understood.  You have a CDL engine from a manual car and you want to bolt your GTI's DSG box to it.  The engines are the same, manual or auto, so your DSG will bolt on.

MrFernze:
Hey Pudding, I took off the AXX engine yesterday and dismembered the DSG, it does look like its a straight swap now its all apart. Ive seen in a post previously that I would need to transfer some sensors from my AXX to the CDL, is that still the case?
