Dimensions - Polo GTI engine?

[Julian Edgar]

Can someone with a GTI do me a huge favour? Can you please pop the bonnet and measure the length of the engine + trans, the depth of the engine and its height?

I am thinking of using the 20 valve turbo engine as the basis for a swap into another car, but first I need some idea of its size.

Give me some more info on what you need and I'll get it today. I'd hate to not quite understand what was included or not and stuff it up.

The longest, widest and deepest dimensions of the engine + gearbox combination please.

Another way of doing the 'widest' is to measure the distance between the chassis rails and then take off a little for clearance.

So you do the autospeed articles?? I really enjoy reading them as often as time allows.

Nope, quite happy with that engine/car combination

Yes...and thank you

yeah man, love your work BTW...

So, I'm really not entirely sure, but it looked like 900l, 600d, 500h
I'm trying to take most of the required piping into account, not purely the block and transmission, but again, as I'm amateur to this, I'm not sure what to measure to and from.

Thank you for that

Anyone got one out of a car and can do a more detailed measurement? (It makes a big difference if the engine + trans is closer to 860mm long rather than 900, for example).
