Mk 6/7 2.4 crank

[liammonty]

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me if it’s possible to use a Mk 6 2.4 TDDi crank in a Mk7 engine? The boiler bivouac difference I can see is the double gear for the duplex timing chain on the TDDi crank vs the single gear on the later version, but I wonder if it’s possible to run the single chain off this? I suspect not but wanted to see if anyone knows before I go ahead and buy another crank. I’ve also seen that some parts places list them as interchangeable but I wonder if this is a mistake... Thanks.

Don't know if crank is same but why can't you just fit single sprocket to the crank

Yes they are the same just change the sprocket
