Title: Golf R CDL engine code, is it FSI or TSI? Engine swap from AXX to CDL possible?
Post by: Sammy on June 07, 2012, 01:16:26 am
I have found myself a fresh golf r engine with 4000 miles on it, its the CDL code and wondering what is the exact difference with this compared to the S3 engine? Would this engine be reliable?
Lastly I have a AXX code engine on ATM and going to swap over with it, I have already asked this but want to know is this a straight plug and play to my car inc DSG gearbox and keeping the map sensor from the R on?
I want confirmation before I pull out £1k+!

Can someone also please confirm here if I can use the golf R map sensor on my stock ECU? Also after the engine swap the ecu must be mapped ASAP aswell?

the same engine found in cupra/ed30-35/ s3

Cheers do you know anything about the map sensor or ecu with regards to fitting it on a AXX gti?

Just use your original map sensor and original ecu and get the correct remap for the k04.

But is it possible to use my current ECU with the golf R map sensor to get more power out of it?

....Crikey Sammy - Just get a new engine hooked up and working properly first. Get more power out of it (IF you really need it) later.

As you have been told before, You CANNOT use the 3 BAR MAP sensor from a Cupra, S3, ED30, Golf R,Scirocco R on an AXX 200bhp ECU, so again the answer is no.
This doesn't prohibit you from big numbers, it's just a detail to be aware of, listen and learn  :wink:

I have the AXX 2,55 BAR and BWJ (Cupra ) setup:

Am doing a whole engine swap what makes you think I won't go after more power then? With that I want to get the max I can and still have the reliability my old AXX didn't with k04!

Seriously does you Mum know you have gone and bought a car.  :chicken: I have been reading all these daft threads for weeks now and it has got to the point were i cringe with every new post.

Stop what you are doing

Put the keyboard and engine parts down in front of you and take 3 or 4 paces back. Have you not noticed in your life that things seem to go wrong (quite often ).
Your problem is not with the engine or the turbo, it is you who needs fixing. You just ploughed into engine and turbo upgrades with zero knowledge and no research whatsoever. You need to stop asking questions and actually read up on what you are trying to do so it can be planned properly. Your just fumbling around trying fix things you don't even know are broken, and convince yourself it will be alright because you think you can sell bits on again. 
here is a little analogy of you so far.

Hey guys bought a pair of shorts but you lot all seem to wear trousers. Can i just attach the bottom part so mine are the same as yours.

Yes you can, but first have a read up on the best way to do this, take em off and get someone who knows how to attach the new bits.

OK guys i think its gone wrong. I bought some second hand material off the INTERNET ( the guy said it was perfect ) stitched them on but they seem to be stuck together at the bottom and i cant walk. If i cut them off can i use them again or should i buy a skirt.  

Take things back to as they were before you messed around and take them to a seamstress who knows what and how to attach them.  

OK guys bought a new set of shorts and material gonna try again if my legs don't come out of the bottom when i try them on does this mean they are broken or is it just the zipper jammed.
Right forget the shorts i am going to just buy some trousers. Does anyone know if i should by slacks, flares or just jeans.  :stupid:


I am sorry if this sounds harsh but you really do need to get a grip of how you process information.  Every choice you make seems to be completely wrong.  :happy2:

^^^^^^^^^
True dat  :grin:



Personally, I'd go back to KO3 as it was back in the day you had a working car. See where you stand. This is an excellent starting point.

If your going to go your own way PLEASE at least goto a well know specialist (yes i hate their prices too) and ask,

A. Can you do a full engine upgrade/swap where i just pay you but have no input into the buying of any parts?

B. How much?

C. How long?

D. Would you do it? I only say this because you only have 2 small front wheels for all this power to use, without spending yet more on a DSG LSD you wasting all that money/power/time.

Ermmm what a bunch of useless comments! What on earth are you on about I did a mistake just once by flooring it with wrong map, I had every knowledge what I am doing you dnt have a clue what I know and don't, and now my mistake is the punishment of me having to get a new engine but who cares its just money! YOLO!
Am just going to enjoy this new upgrade to myself and max it out how ever I can push it to the limits, yeah it's a FWD so I have 4 wheel drive conversion in my head later so noo problem jaaast enjoy the damn car!  :driver: :drinking: :P

Perhaps we should open a new section in the forum "How NOT to..."

Dude,i too have been reading you nonsense posts from the very beginning and have to echo what tc has said.People have given you plenty of advice on here which you have not adhered to, you ask questions, which when people reply you dont like what they have to say you spit your dummy out and go all defensive. As tc has said you seriously need to step back and have a look what you are doing or are trying to acheive. Sit down and have a look what you have spent so far, calculate what you are going to be spending in the future coz i can guarantee it will be costing you a lot more in the future. The axx engine will easily take a k04 turbo charger with no problems when mapped correctly. If you want to see what sort of power the r engine is capable of then take a look at teff's build thread, he has spent probably what the car cost him in the first place on mods alone, i dont know you personal circumstances but i think it would be pretty silly ploughing that sort of money into an 05 plate car. By the way, thats my opinion :happy2:

My modding will stop once I have reached the magic £3K on mods, I set myself a limit and I am sticking to it  :signLOL: I think  :signLOL:

Post by: Sammy on June 07, 2012, 04:00:54 pm
Well as you know my engine needs work on it for starters so the problem here is not running the k04 on a AXX rather talking about a full rebuild to make the k04 work with it, I have got quotes to around £1.3K Ish for just rebuild alone and i have found myself a R engine with 4K miles CHEAP which when fitted will cost me about £200-£300 more than a rebuild but then I will have a fresh much stronger engine and i can keep my car for much longer and not give a toss about reliability as it has a much more improved and revised engine.
And then dont forget I can still sell my old faulty engine off for at least £500-£600 and sell a spare K04 I have and overall the whole swap would only cost me about £600 ish make sense? Yes to me i dont see nothing but sense in what I am about to do, id like to hear your views now?

And yes Robin Il just go all out and do just what you did  :evilgrin:

A 05 plate car? Who cares 05 or 09 its still a gti and with the new engine going in it sure wont feel like it anymore once its tuned up, At the end of the day am not doing it to worry about the losses when it comes to selling am doing this for me and myself just for the pure fun  :driver:

This is where the problem stands now Dom, I have changed turbo and nothing solved oil is still dropping, on the turbo manifold looked like from cylinder 2 there was quite a lot of black soot and oil, realistically the engine needs to be stripped out and therefore I am going with better option for me

Well it could be a valve or something, surely cheaper option would be take the head of or use a scope into the cylinder No.2 to see whats going on, pin-pointing the specific problem and fixing that problem... than going wild and replacing the engine...?

Yeah I could do this and that and go wild too and take it to him and her and still not solve anything, I had enough basically my head needs a break with a fresh new engine,
Taking the head may just mean useless costs my way and more frustrations

At what point do you think swapping your engine isn't going to bring you a whole raft of issue now and in the future, let alone insurance costs. The car will become more difficult to sell, more expensive to tune.

Why should it bring any issue? It's like buying a car isnt it? You don't know if it will cause you a problem till you have it, LOL cost more to tune? Now thats funny do u not know this engine is identical but stronger?
Difficult to sell? I don't think so with the amount people that come offering cash to me, even still am not thinking about selling now just spending, tuning, and grinning  :wink:

Grow up Sammy. you will have problems with an engine conversion, everyone that's done a conversion will tell you that, They' be issues whether there big or small. I think you should take the advice given from other members as your the one posting all these threads begging for advice. Also I dont think you should comment on anyone cars being specs in your rear view as your car is the only one not moving.

Reading through your past posts I feel as though I know more about the conversion than you do. just read through your past posts and see most of the "questions" you've asked have answered previously.
People are here to help not argue with you, just listen/read some of the posts

Grow up Sammy. you will have problems with an engine conversion, everyone that's done a conversion will tell you that, They' be issues whether there big or small. I think you should take the advice given from other members as your the one posting all these threads begging for advice. Also I dont think you should comment on anyone cars being specs in your rear view as your car is the only one not moving

 :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

Seriously stop feeding him, let him go spend his cash and have the fastest golf in the land. He came, he asked and he didn't like the answers.

The end

Why should it bring any issue? It's like buying a car isnt it? You don't know if it will cause you a problem till you have it, LOL cost more to tune? Now thats funny do u not know this engine is identical but stronger?
Difficult to sell? I don't think so with the amount people that come offering cash to me, even still am not thinking about selling now just spending, tuning, and grinning  :wink:

Why should it bring issues? Your swapping the engine from another car...into yours...an engine your getting off ebay(i think). I know its going to bring issues from the countless threads on the subject, from the people who actually planned the process correctly and still met walls.

You know if a new car is going to cause you issues because you can test drive and you get a warranty.

I have a feeling i know more about the engine and associated costs than you do and im not even planning a swap.

I'd give your insurance a call BEFORE you make the change.


Im not going to get involved in your posts any longer i feel that your reply's have become far too immature and you seem to be bent on just attempting to prove opinions wrong than take sound advice.

I even get a feeling that your actually a VXR driver who has come here to troll

Actual tears of laughter Tom.  :grin: After 14 hours of power point presentations I thank you.


Seriously does you Mum know you have gone and bought a car.  :chicken: I have been reading all these daft threads for weeks now and it has got to the point were i cringe with every new post.

Stop what you are doing

Put the keyboard and engine parts down in front of you and take 3 or 4 paces back. Have you not noticed in your life that things seem to go wrong (quite often ).
Your problem is not with the engine or the turbo, it is you who needs fixing. You just ploughed into engine and turbo upgrades with zero knowledge and no research whatsoever. You need to stop asking questions and actually read up on what you are trying to do so it can be planned properly. Your just fumbling around trying fix things you don't even know are broken, and convince yourself it will be alright because you think you can sell bits on again. 
here is a little analogy of you so far.

Hey guys bought a pair of shorts but you lot all seem to wear trousers. Can i just attach the bottom part so mine are the same as yours.

Yes you can, but first have a read up on the best way to do this, take em off and get someone who knows how to attach the new bits.

OK guys i think its gone wrong. I bought some second hand material off the INTERNET ( the guy said it was perfect ) stitched them on but they seem to be stuck together at the bottom and i cant walk. If i cut them off can i use them again or should i buy a skirt.  

Take things back to as they were before you messed around and take them to a seamstress who knows what and how to attach them.  

OK guys bought a new set of shorts and material gonna try again if my legs don't come out of the bottom when i try them on does this mean they are broken or is it just the zipper jammed.
Right forget the shorts i am going to just buy some trousers. Does anyone know if i should by slacks, flares or just jeans.  :stupid:


I am sorry if this sounds harsh but you really do need to get a grip of how you process information.  Every choice you make seems to be completely wrong.  :happy2:

In fact I have taken every advice been given here just on my own way, for turbo I changed to another turbo, many mentioned that I should just get a new engine and if so then a cupra or S3 engine, which is the step I am taking now anyway?

Spammy, do you know what a forum "Troll" is???

All your post asking for help and advice are crazy bud!

You mentioned a few times not wanting to go to a VW specialist because your mechanic was half the price, and then you contradict yourself by saying its only money to buy another engine and fit that!!!

Once again, like many others, I hate seeing that another one of these threads is pages and pages and pages of the same thing.

You ask, we tell, you don't like the answer, and ask the same thing again.

Seriously....Can you not see it???

You just need to do things right!

More like am following every answer being given,
Yeah I said a local garage would be half the price but that was just a point! To say a local garage could fit a a set of brake pads no better then a specialist not a engine swap!

Best thing you could do sammy is take that golf of yours and box it off down the scrappy! Then go buy your self a new motor which you will never get the urge to attempt to modify  again! :happy2:

Perfect advice for yourself just apply it  :wink:

Sammy what were your exact engine fault codes and when are/were you booked in with R-tech?
Are all your plugs oily or just one?

Well I took it to a specialist and they said its the turbo gone, so I changed it for another k04 and seems the oil is still dropping faster then usual although the misfires have seemed to stop, I was booked in for r tech on the 11th of June but obviously due to this it can't be mapped, the exhaust is still smoking although reduced now,
And for the plugs it seemed plug from cylinder 2 kept having the problem and the rest follows,
It's been like this for a few weeks now and to end the problem I have decided to just change the engine incase when the engine is opened up I don't start getting scary costs for replacement parts because god knows what is wrong down there

I was just thinking the excess fuel would create a lot of smoke. A guy on Briskoda had a faulty injector which made cylinder 2 plug black and oily and threw a lot of white smoke out with misfires.
I would get a K04 base map put on ASAP, certainly before the new engine.

That sound like sense to me definitely my symptoms, injectors woudnt come up on the diagnostics would it? Hmm i might just put old injectors back on and see the outcome, I spoke to r tech about it but they said they won't map with the white smoke on it, just getting it mapped could sort it maybe

If it was me I wouldnt bother with an engine swap. You may get conversion issues with looms and software etc and be worse off. I would take yoir car to a company who do these conversions on a weekly basis and may see what the issue is straight away without spending loads of money. There is no point spending money for the hell of it mate. It could be something as simple as an injector not fitted correctly etc

Statllers in Sheffield who were mentioned in one of your first threads, they have done numerous of engine conversions etc and are one of the best in the industry, if anyone can resolve your issue then it will be them.

What I find odd is that when people including myself mentioned fitting a new engine you stated there is no way you could afford it yet now you act as if you have won the lottery and you couldn't care less how much money you throw down the drain.

With the greatest respect please ask the mods to delete this thread as it's painful watching you go round in circles and asking the same questions a hundred times over, yet you never seem to absorb anybody's advice as you think you know best.

It's certainly a good example of how not to problem solve, maybe a locked sticky at the top of the thread may be a better option.

This thread will keep on dragging on and to be honest some people just can't be helped and this is a textbook example of that.

I have spent the last week putting this CDL conversion right, pipes and sensors hanging off and the nipple on thr n75 snapped off which was allowing 30+psi of boost.   Teething issues as you would get with most major engine consersion.

Started to tune monday only to run in to misfires around 6000-6500rpm, and with rail pressure raised to anything above 115bar I get constant misfires on number 1.

Fingers crossed the end result will be around 330bhp 350lbft...... If this fecking misfire goes away   :laugh:

Because you had another load of idiots attempt the conversion. They failed miserably, and now its in the hands of a reputable tuner (like we advised in the first place) to fix it properly.
