Engine compatibility - CZP vs DAJ

Post by naeem_m »

Hi guys,

I have a 2018 polo gti that comes with a CZP engine. The engine block has cracked and I need a new engine/engine block.
I have been told that a DAJ engine is compatible but it is a 1.8l vs 2.0 that the car comes with.

Anyone have experience with this, whether it is ok to use a DAJ engine for this particular car?

I wouldn't take a chance. Those engines are different generations and may have some differences that could stall the swap or make something vital not work.

Btw your car should be a 1.8, not a 2.0l.

CZP - 2.0 TSI engine.
DAJ - 1.8 TSI engine.

You should also consider checking the Golf engine for any similarities. Hope you get sorted soon. Thanx
