I am new to this forum - this is my first post.
I have acquired a 1997 Toledo Sport 1984cc (8 valve) which is a bit tired generally and needs lots of little bits. The engine and gearbox are still brilliant (80,000 miles) and I would like to look for a project to keep me occupied for a while.
Can anyone tell me when they stopped using this engine in the VAG companies? In particular, were there any cars manufactured around 1999 - 2001 with it. Also, if I were to find a damaged 1984cc 16v, will the cylinder head from that engine bolt straight on to my block without difficulty. Are there likely to be any problems with engine mountings?
I apologise for my lack of knowledge re this engine. The last VAG car I owned was a 1951 Beetle (peephole rear window) and things seem to have moved on a bit since then. I bought the Toledo for my youngest son but he finds it too big and unfashionable for his liking.
