If that's the case, then you'll need all the Mk6 engine bay, ECU/PCM wiring looms, and dash looms as well...the Mk6 & Mk7 wiring system is totally different in that respect. The Mk6 is obviously TDDi and the Mk7 TDCi...so all the engine running looms and control modules are completely different...Then there's the matter of the different braking systems etc...it's gunna be a rather big and challenging modification.

Shouldn't need to worry about the brakes if you're fitting the Mk6 engine into a Mk7 van....although I'm not sure if the original Mk7 PCM talks to the BCM and ABS modules. The Mk6 has drums on the rear and the Mk7 has discs all round, so one would imagine the braking system & ABS system is different to the Mk6.
