Depends how far are you now.
I have done Haldex wiring - working.
Replaced ABS pump - ended up with errors.
ESP Multisensor placed instead of ESP Duosensor - G202 Implausible signal or ESP System Fault.
Engine coding - not able to code to AWD but 4 wheels spinning
Wiring diagram looks same for FWD/AWD - only one wire extra for awd.
In my 2005 there was 4 cables and I was able to get rid of faults at standstill. When driving and making turn ESP goes mad. Not sure now if its wiring fault or sensor position (AWD should be upside down and facing back - not sure about this)
I will try to sort it tomorrow :indifferent:

I would just buy an R32 and swap out the engines, or just buy a MK6 R.
Retrofits are never quite the same as factory built.

i haven't started yet lol but im planning to do it in the Easter bank holiday weekend. i feel the mechanical side of it wont be a issue for me just getting the wiring sorted, i have vcds can do some coding if needs be but wouldn't i be able to use the codes from donor car? when you turn the esp off do you get traction control lights or anything ?

I normally estimate a job duration and multiply it by 4, but I don't think even 16 days would be enough time for this.
Good luck though :drinking:
