    Looming

    I'm doing and engine swap over because my head gasket blew. I've got a 1.8 coupe convertible 1999 but bought another one which is standard 1996. Is the looming the same ?

    Can't you just swap the engine and forget the harness

    I would have thought it's a straight swap but I've been told that there's an extra wire in the process I should have taken a picture of it really quite confusing. I should have it bk over the next few days so il just have to wait and see really

    Not sure if my mechanic is telling the truth to be fair. I'm not a genius when it comes to motors but I'm sure you don't need to take off the alternator because the loom goes all the way through to reconnect.That's a lie isn't it ?
