I have a 1999 1.8 20v passat which has sheared the cam belt tensioner bolt, bending all 20 valves. Can i swap it with a head from an A4 ( are they all the same???) mine is an 'ADR' engine
Thanks , Richard

If its the same engine code and symilar age, i would say Yes ! Pay attention to subtle differences as the same engine codes were fitted in transverse mounted models: golf, a3, s3,skoda octavia, and the cast off the engine is different to accomodate different mounting brackets and fixtures !

Hi, thanks for that. Will it make any difference that my car has the hydraulic cam belt tensioner?
Will the donor car have to be the same??
Cheers, Richard
