With the eurospec kit, you might want to check the mounts are compatible with the longitudinal engines before you part with your cash.

Re: how low is your sump??
So it seems the Eurospec option is a no go.
It runs a different gearbox mount, which shifts the engine 1 1/2 inches. This means I can't use their engine bars unless I buy the whole kit and junk the KEP.
Easier to make some new engine bars.

Yes, but you make it sound so easy
Need to crank it over to the 15 degree position on the adaptor too.
Already have a raised lid, so no problem there.

Re: how low is your sump??
Hmm, that's the one thing I'm really unsure of. In the donor passat it was mounted at 15 degrees, but now it's at 0.
What about oil pick up etc?
Mike, can't remember the chaps name. Will post up the pic when I get back home, can't do it from my phone.
