The 1y 1.9d conversion from the 1.6 cs is fairly straight forward there are hundreds of posts and plenty of advice on here, it is not just a straight forward change over there are things like inlet manifold, dipstick, pump to conceder but you will not regret it.

AEF is from a polo with the dipstick on the opposite side to a CS and will need the block drilling for the dip stick and tapper for the original hole to be fitted with a bolt. Bit of arsing around with the pump due to electrics, but can be fitted, but finding a 1Y would make things easier.
