Dont bother sourcing a G60 box, it is easier to use a mk3 golf GTI gearbox as these are cheaper and more available than the G60 unit and has the same ratios as the mk4 GTI gearbox. You will need the shifter assembly aswell.
With the clutch actuation you have two options:
1: fit a passat pedal assembly with the hydrolic clutch actuator. then link with hose
2: Fit a seat actuator to the gearbox which converts clutch cable to hydrolic actuation.
The mk 4 Golf clocks are a direct fit into 1998 onwards polos as VW changed the clock assembly from 1998, however dont bother using a mk5 Polo dashboard as the clocks are completely different (like the lupo)
With regards to the driveshfts you will need to use the inner CV joint from whichever gearbox you use and the Polo outer CV joints. Custom driveshafts will be needed as the length of the shorter driveshaft needs to be shortened. Do not cut and weld the driveshafts as this is an instant MOT failiure.
Dont worry too much about the ignition barrell as this can be placed elsewhere if it doesnt fit.

ok now heres the voice i was waiting to hear from for so long!! paul you are one guy thats hard to get a hold of...
You've been seriously researching this conversion haven't you, i'd really like to know what you know regarding this whole thing mate...if your free in the evenings and use msn, let me know...i did add 'a' paul wright...whether its you, i donno but they dont answer me when i say hello.
My main concern would really be how i can fit the pedal box out of a golf mk4, which is the choice of donor...an AGU 180bhp lump kept standard.
The car it will be going into is a polo 16v from 1997 P plate.
Can i use a mk3 VR6 subframe? i'm hoping i can, cos thats how the guys would normally do a VR6 swap into a mk4 polo at dubsport...or JBS would use it for a G60 conversion i suppose.
What do you reckon?
how about the brake servo/master cylinder? apparently stealth racing relocated Jamies one in his ex-16v (R4BBY) to the rear of the car...not sure how that works? Especially if i need to use a larger one to compensate for larger discs...between 280mm G60 ones or 310mm Brembo's.
then theres...which intercooler do i use? do i need a slimline radiator?
Shall i use an oil filter relocation kit?
I've been advised to use the pulley off the golf mk4 power steering pump, and fit it onto my exsisting polo pump...thus able to use the same belt to drive it.
the downpipe is least of my worries really, and so is the wiring...as long as i have the A pillar forwards in the donor car...it should be a straight swap, its just making bits fit from a bigger car..into mine!
I donno how the mk1 golf guys do it!
Who will fabricate some driveshafts for me too!?
Paul...in all honesty...i need your help mate.
Sanjay.

Hello Dubpolo,
The reasons I am off line at night is because I use the computer at work during the day as I have a cushty job! Not because I am ignorant, also my wife is due to drop any day now so I may be a little preoccupied.
Right first things first. The VR6 subframe. I havent really looked it using a VR6 subframe as the mk3 golf has an identical subframe to the mk 2 Golfand therefore very different to the Polo. There is little information on using the subframe in its entirety however a bloke is selling a Polo VR6 in the for sale section of this forum. It might be worth asking him.
The most popular way to mount the engine is using modifyed brackets between the OE polo mounts and the engine and the gearbox. Salzmann tuning supply the kit for 500.00 euros and it comes with a handy TUV certificate. DSP Tuning in france also supply a simmilar kit starting from 500.00 euros however they can also supply you with a down pipe and full exhaust system.
The UK tuners have approached the issue from another direction, JBS auto designs have used Polo 9n engine mounts by modifying the chassis legs and suspending the engine a VAG intended. The method I prefer is to use the mk 4 golf original engine mounts fitted to brackets on the chassis legs as this method also allow the engine to move backwards and upwards as was originally how VW made the mk 4 Golf. Space will be tight at the front of the engine bay so I feel this is the best way.
You brake mastercylinder shouldnt be an issue as the idea of fitting this engine is to get the engine as far over to the left as possible, clearing the brake master cylinder. Fitting a 22mm mastercylinder from a passat would be adviseable as your brakes will need uprating.
Which intercooler you se is up to you, you can use the original intercooler and modify the pipe work or fit a universal front mounted intercooler and re route the pipe work or use and audi intake manifold to change the inlet position from right to left. Also another option is to use a mercedes sprinter intercooler, however if you use a second hand intercooler make sure you flush it out thoughrouly with dereaser to remove any traces of dirt or oil.
For the wiring AMD now can overcome the immobiliser on the AGU engine management and can supply you with a custom wiring harness from the large connector of the ECU. This will cost £500.00, however as yet they are unable to get the rev counter to work.
Quantum performance engineering also provide a similar service however they have sorted the rev counter out however this is £700.00
If you use a 2000 onward engine Revo can sort out the immobiliser

With regards to the power steering pump you are half right, you do need to attach the mk4 Golf pulley to the Polo power steering pump, however for the belt you need to use a Golf 1.4 belt without aircon if you plan to ditch the aircon compressor unit as wlee as the belt tensioner as it is different.
If you plan on fitting the air conditioning system aswell the use the original Golf mk4 belt from the 1.8T. Its worth fitting a new belt tensioner at the same time.
The radiator should be ok using the 16v radiator if you keep the power as standard if not the look into fitting a Polo GTi or Golf GTI radiator. You will need some heavy modification fof the slam panel anyway.
The radiator fan cowl will be too big and you will need a slimline fan from vehicle wiring products. May be best to fit 2 for peace of mind.
Your driveshafts will need shortening/lengthened look in the yellow pages and see if there is a machinist or fabrication specialist in your area. Ther should be someone who will be able to help, however bear in mind that you need to utilise the mk4 golf inner CV joints and the Polo outer CV joints.

now i'm starting to get somewhere...now i know i can actually do it and properly too!
So suspending the engine is the best way to do it, and not have to attach it to the polo's subframe?
Would that be just two mounts used then?
The wiring isn't a problem for me, well won't be because i'll make sure i have every bit of the golfs front end really...inc the dash.
I'll do as you said and try to fit a polo gti radiator and slimline fan, the intercooler can just stay as the golf one for now...but i'm thinking of perhaps getting on like ABT make, with inlet/outlet's either side of it, making it easier to route the pipework.
the Merc sprinter intercooler is just far too big unless i chop the slam panel to pieces and loose my already large angel eye headlamps from FK.
So how would the car drive with one longer driveshaft than the other? being as the engine will be to the far right as possible away from the master cylinder?
It'd be so much easier to fit a VR6 subframe, with wishbones, and VR hubs...which meant brakes and stronger suspension.
Now i will have to counteract all that, do i need to buy golf mk4 coilovers for front only? to take the weight? or just polo ones.
Will 305mm brembo discs,pads etc fit from a 4 stud SEAT? i understand the brake lines would need to be custom.
costs are mounting now i think....but i still think i can do it for a reasonable and yet attainable amount..say 2k max?!

The rear engine mount would still have to be attached to the Polo subframe using the Golf mk4 mount.
If you are planning on using a mk4 Golf Dash board then the best of luck. The best way is to cut back the Golf wiring loom and connect it up to your existing Polo wiring loom.
The car will be fine with one driveshaft longer than the other as one driveshaft will be longer in any Polo.
Fitting a complete VR6 front end may give other problems as your track on the front of the care will probably be wider, not only that the Polo wishbones are much smaller than the VR6. If it was a straight swap conversion companies would'nt be charging the amount they do!
Be prepared for a lot of work and head scratching.
My advice would be to start the project using a mk 2 Golf as the conversion is a lot more straight forward.

ok so...now what i'll have to do is get the engine really and start getting the bits i need together.
The headscratching starts now mate, thats why i need to cover so many areas before i start, so i know nearly what i need to do before i do it.
But looks like i need to get a more hands-on approach to it.
A mk2 golf is too easy and less fun/unique...how many more mk2 20vt's do you wanna see? its about time the polo lot began to make another comeback.
Would the mk4 golf engine mount fit the rear subframe section on the polo? you don't have pictures of any of this stuff do you?
I'll definately be using my polo dash after looking at the deepness of the golf dash, its far too large to go in easily. It also means i have less wiring to route around my car. I'll just need to find a golf mk4 haynes, and with wiring diagrams...if there is one.
Do you know how the passat pedal box is easy to fit? does it mount in the same locator points as the polo one...and what about the steering rack? would that be the golf one?
Thanks.

You will need to weld a bracket onto your subframe to accept the the mk 4 Golf rear engine mount as it needs to be relocated onto the underside of the subframe there is no way that the engine mount will lcate where the Polo mk 4 mount is. There are loads of pictures at:
www.speedmakers.de
if you look under the Galerie section at the metalic grey Polo with the Porsche rims, this has loads of picture of what you need to be aiming for.
Glad to hear your using the original Polo dash, will save a lot of extra work! Very sensible.
The wiring diagrams are indeed at the back of the mk4 Golf Haynes manual, might be a good idea to buy a Polo mk4 manual at the same time, you'll need both.
The passat pedal box is not a direct fit, some fettling will be required to get it to fit.
There is no need to change your steering rack this is just a waste of time.
Good luck.

paul...i've tried to contact DSP tuning by email and have had no reply, do you have an email or any info about their mounting kit for the engine?
I would rather invest in some proper manufactured mounts that i know will stabalise the engine 100%, rather than try to fabricate them myself, as i haven't done much welding in the past at all.
For £300-400 if i get DSP to send me their kit, i shouldnt have a problem.
I asked them what it contains, if they have any pics of it and also general costs for the various bits in the kit. No answer as of yet and its been 2weeks.
Lookin at that grey polo, that rear mount looks very simple...if you dont have above info, i will see if i can phone them directly and get info sent to me...and if that fails then i'll ave to consult someone that can weld them for me.
When you put your engine up for sale, you also said you had a cd containing a mountain of photos, instructions on how to fit this engine...you still got such a thing? i'd buy it from you mate.
Sanj.

Right,
DSP tuning have a conversion kit however this is made for left hand drive cars so the engine is positioned more to the right hand side of the car. They are working on a kit for right hand drive cars however this kit is still under development as yet as they have to clear the master cylinder/servo.
The basic mounting kit starts at 500.00 euros however they also have available a pedal box assembly with the hydrolic clutch actuator and a full exhaust system, however at extra cost.
You could buy the LHD munting kit and use a remote servo and master cylinder setup, AP Racing have a kit starting from around £200.00 for the servo unit and it would be up to you which size master cylinder to use.
As for me, project Polo is back on as I cant sell all the parts for the price that I paid and my shiny new Audi A4 company car will be here soon so I won't be without transport as the wifes getting pi**ed off with me using her car all the time.
Lets see who finishes first!

its probably gonna be yourself mate, this project is a time out project, ready for january 2006 when i get my licence back from the DVLA...as i'm banned for now.
I faxed DSP tuning from my work twice and had no response today, then i phoned them around 3pm (theyre 1hr ahead i know)...and it just kept ringing.
I think Stealth racing used a remote servo and master cylinder....i didn't know you could get such a kit..but now it becomes clear after speakin to them and they said they relocated it to the rear of the car.
Do you have a link i can look at?
How are you gonna take care of the rear mount then paul? Have you made the chassis leg brackets for the golf mounts yet? what did you use to fabricate them with...i mean 3qaurter inch steel is hard to find, isn't it?
As soon as i find someone or a proper way of being able to fit all parts properly, then i can start to get the bits in.
What parts do you have then already (gotta a list?)
Also...what brakes will you be using? and have you found someone for the driveshaft shortening?
Sorry about the mass of questions...i'm just glad your still on board with the whole thing, if you wasn't going ahead...i'd be stuck long ago and would of given up on the whole thing.
Cheers for the info so far buddy.

right heres a list of the parts I have:
AGU complete engine with new black diamond clutch fitted.
O2J 5 speed transmission
Engine wiring harness x2 (original had beed cut bfore plug on ECU)
All the extras from around the engine bay, coil pack pre amp, charcoal canister inlet air sensor, altitude sensor.
Lamda probe + golf mk4 downpipe + cat.
Complete wiring harness from Golf mk4: fuse box, relay panel, convienience, system ABS control unit.
Golf mk4 Clocks.
Igniton Barrell + key (and central locking remote.)
Gear shift lever with cables.
Mk4 Golf engine mounts.
Golf mk 4 drive shafts with CV joints.
Seat clutch actuator.
Golf mk2 1.3 throttle cable
Golf mk 2 GTI radiator + 2 slimline fans.
Allard Racing universal front mounted intercooler.
Various samco hoses.
Still need a Passat 22mm master cylinder, or AP racing unit, as for the brakes I am waiting for designadubs to complete their four pot caliper conversion, using Brembos from a Porsche and using VW 280mm discs which will fit inside a 15" rim. Rear disc conversion will also be fitted but not high on my list of priorities.
DSP products are available through Eurotek. This kit will save you a lot of time if it is available for RHD cars if not look at the demon tweeks website under the motorsport section for remote servo units. You can put them in the boot if necessary.

sounds like a very extensive list mate..nice to finally chat properly to you.
The O2J box, is that the golf mk4 one that was with the AGU lump?
the golf's driveshafts, are you have the outer joints re-machined to accept the polo outer CV joints? or planning on just using them as they are.
Cos i thought the company involved would make them from scratch.
Is that mk2 golf gti radiator much larger than the 16v one?
The allard IC, is that the corrado style design with the inlet/outlet opposite sides...or a vertical one with the inlet/outlet either side coming out of the top?
Do you know which model/year passat i can get the 22mm MC from?
I have given up on DSP,Salzmann is the same...so i now have a guy who knows a guy who may be able to help me weld some custom mounts in place as we spoke about.
I was under the understanding that you can get G60 front discs and calipers (280mm) and use 16v hubs to fit them directly to the caliper carrier.
If thats possible, why not buy the brembo 4stud discs, calipers and bits for say £400 in a group buy and they should bolt straight onto 16v hubs.
If QP Engineering can make my OE clocks work, i'm under the understanding they can also make the OE golf clocks work in my car with its AGU lump!
Speak to ya soon again..

Right speak to QPE about retaing the original mk 4 golf clocks, the signal output for the tachometer is different on the Polo than the mk 4 Golf. The signal on the Golf/Audi lumps comes from the coil packs mounted directly onto the spark plug, of which there are four however the tacho signal from the polo I think also comes from the coil pack through the ECU, however there is only a single coil for the polo's ignition.
The O2J is indeed the gearbox that is fitted to the AGU lump.
Not sure about the radiator as I havent seen a 16v radiator and am unsure of the dimensions. I presume the Golf Radiator will be larger.
The 280mm G60 conversion may need the hub assembly from the G60 aswell as the calipers, I know the 16v hubs are different to lesser models so it may be the case that it may be a bolt on upgrade.
Seat Brembo's will fit however you will need the hoses, calipers discs, pads and caliper cariers aswell. not cheap however you will ned a minimu 16" wheels to fit.
