Passat 1.8T - Engine Code: APU
Hi folks, Can anyone shed some light here please.
My uncle owns a Year 2000 Passat 1.8T, APU engine.
The engine blew up & he got a Mk4 1.8T engine (not sure what cod).
the mechanic fitted the motor, it swings but no start.
The mech. said that the management system does not recognise the motor hence no start, so we must find nothing else but APU engine.
Am i correct in saying "if we chip the ECU the car will or at least should start.
Either chip or an aftermarket management system will get the car running... right...?
Please confirm or correct and advise the correct route to go.

Re: Passat 1.8T - Engine Code: APU
How did he blow it up? How complete was the new motor? What did you carry over from the old motor?

Re: Passat 1.8T - Engine Code: APU
Were both engines same management? If not make sure all sensors are swoped over to new engine, including cam position sensor window. But I do agree, new mechanic is needed
