[color=Blue]When you say swap, do you mean the deal is purely that - no cash exchange on either side?

What year is the VW Golf IV, and what's the engine size?[/color]

that engine swap is a great deal on golf 4, but one thing make sure all the wiring harness are secured that is ECU,ICM,an electrical caberuator also make sure you are installing a manual transmission as well, one order thing something they do have issues with the guages like RPM, temperature, oil light no fuel gauge so put this in mind
