I am looking for some advise for a replacement engine for my camper. If it is on here already then I apologise but I have been reading other threads and not got all my answers.
My issue is my camper has a 1.7 KY engine fitted that is beyond repair. I have been offered a 1996 1Z engine without ECU. Is that not worth getting as I read that you need the ECU to match the engine or can this be got round as I am not bothered about the immobiliser.
Any help or advise would be appreciated. Cheers

Re: 1Z Engine advise
As long as its the right ecu it will work with any engine, the ecu just has to be paired with the immob (which is dead easy)

Re: 1Z Engine advise
Or there's a guy on ebay who will delete the immobiliser from a later ecu. Had one off him and it works fine. P.M. me if you want more details.
1982 was 2ltr a/c then 1.9d 5spd, now 1.9tdi with passat box. Reimo pop top.
