Hi!
I'm new here and I would appreciate your help. I'm going to replace the 1.4L AUA motor of my 9/2000 A2 and in its place I'm going to mount the 2002+ 1.6L FSI BAD motor. Do you know if there is going to be any incompatibility issues except for the obvious chip and wires upgrades (they will come with the motor)? The FSI version, as you probably know, wasn't available when the 1.4L version was introduced back in 2000. Also, almost every moving part in the interior of the BAD motor is going to get replaced too (mostly with Victor Reinz parts). So, what is the previous state of the 1.6L motor is not of great importance since it will come out of the garage "brand new". My confusion lies in the mounting of the motor. Thank you for your responses...
