DaddyBuiltRacing Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 So I am in the process (still) of swapping motors out in a 99 Cabrio. I went and picked up a 2.0 out of a 98 to put in this thing. I got the old motor out only to realize there is 1 difference in the motors. The old one had an EGR valve that ran from the head to the exhaust manifold, this new one doesnt have that set. Before anyone says "just swap manifolds", its not doable, the old manifold was so rusted (bolts) that we had to cut it off in order to get the motor out. What are my options here? 1. Say screw it and not worry about the EGR (will ecu look for this)? 2. Find correct manifold (haha good luck finding a VW in a yard around here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
