Paul what was the trouble you had getting it to fit? - I am going to fit a mk6 DTDI engine in a 2013 mk7 and bin the 2.2 TDCI but wanted to keep the mk7 gearbox if I can

Thanks

So why did you not ask about fitting a TDDI into a mk7 rather than putting a mk7 gbos into a Mk6. That's a totally different operation and has been done before by others to varying degrees.

GOOD POINT !

i never asked as I know a mk6 engine fits in a m7 -What i need to know is will a mk7 6 speed gearbox from a 2.2 TDCI fit to the mk6 2.0l DTDI engine and all bolt up and fully work correctly "Both are FWD"

Thanks again sorry if any misunderstandin

Would imagine it would be flywheel & clutch is where most difference would be. 6spd comes with dual mass flywheel but there is conversions to single so you'd need to get clutch kit with driven plate to match gearbox splines and pressure plate to match solid mk6 flywheel ( not sure if mk7 f/wheel would fit mk6) gear linkage would need changing, don't know if drive shafts would be different.......

Linkage and drive shafts will be same as from what I read he's putting a Mk6 engine into a mk7 van and wanting to keep the mk7 Gbox.

From my understanding it's just a case of matching the right clutch & flywheel, but not sure which it should be, I'm sure the boxes mate as folk have have done this before.

Yes I have not worded this post correctly but I hope what I have put below will make it abit more clear of my plans and what I am hoping to do.

I have a mk7 2013 minibus and am removing the 2.2 TDCI engine and replacing it with a 2.0 TDDI I am just hoping I can just bolt the engine to the 6 speed gearbox in the mk7 and both will match up,I will have both a mk7 clutch and flywheel and a mk6 clutch and flywheel so if its just a case of getting a clutch and flywheel to work and that's all,I am sure that can be sorted out some way."I hope"

If anyone has fitted a mk7 FWD 6-speed gearbox to a mk6 FWD engine please comment or get in touch as I have afew questions

Thanks

There's a few guys on the FB groups have done it loads.

What are you planning on doing with the electronics?

Noo thats different, the heading says into mk6..... So basically it's will a 2.0tddi engine fit in a mk7 with 6spd gearbox.....will only be clutch and flywheel to mess with , GOOD LUCK GETTING THAT PASSED EMISSION TEST IF TESTER GOES BY NUMBER ON VIN PLATE

The way most have done them that I have seen is completely change everything overfrom a mk6 to the mk7- Engine and gearbox,Ecus,Loom,Steering column and drive shafts front legs plus more

Am going to try I different root and see what happens

Mk6 TDDI engine in the mk7 keep everything else mk7-Fit a Manual diesel pump with a live to the stop/start solenoid so completely do away with any electronic fuel pumps,This has been done in a few mk6 transit so i will see what happens

This is the interesting part, which pump will you use

[camper-man]

Am hoping to get the pump off a guy on here so its fingers crossed on that.
