Gone is the 2.0 16V with 02S 6 speed gearbox and in it's place I dropping in a light weight E111 small block 1.4 engine from the Golf mk3 ABD 60hp, This engine looks the same as the mk2 1.3 55hp motor, but this 1400s build has the 3F Muti point injection inlet manifold, dbilas 272º cam and standalone k-date ECU. My aim is 100hp and hopefully a lot of fun to drive due small high rev motor and a drop in weight of some 50-60kg over the front wheels.

Thank you, it's something a little different, I really loved the handling when the little underpowered 1.3 was in the car, hopefully this 100hp 1.4 will be a rev happy motor with character.

Thank you.
There is also a 1.4 16v in the polo 6n and it has if a remember correctly 101hp. Now i know why you are putting back the original engine but it would have been interesting for sure to put that 1.4 in there. Keep up the good work.👍

Thanks, yes I think it's engine code is AFH, great little motor so I've heard, driven a few, revs well, only issue is it looks too modern. This engine is a 1.4 ABD 8V from the mk3, it should hopefully see 100hp.
Sometimes you have to go the clever way, I have sold my mk2 TDI, also because here in Denmark you have to pay a registration tax over again for the car, I it will be around 2k, so I have decided to bring my edition one 16v on the road again next summer, the benefits of waiting to next year is the car will be 35 years and I will only pay 1/4 in road tax and insurance. Anyway good luck with your project 😊

Ever considered doing the 1.4 tsi (turbo and supercharged) swap?

Would love that, even just the Polo 6N 100hp 1.4 16v, but here it needs to look as close OE as possible. It's this or the Polo 1.6 8V motor.
