Pardon my use of words....But this is a motherfucker of a swap.

There has only been a few done. May want to look on VWvortex.com

I like your style though, I always wanted a burly VR Beetle

You are best off finding a donor car of the same year with a VR. That should keep a lot of the swap less complicated than it needs to be.

Being a beetle, you are going to deal with one of the worst engine bays in automotive history. You pretty much have to remove the bumper and fenders as one unit to do anything. Ask me how I know.


Note disgruntled Tom.

There is no reason it will fail as long as you have the correct ECU and there are no broken/missing parts that would cause any other vehicle to fail.

1. sell your beetle
2. buy a vr jetta/golf
3. profit

a wise man once said, why swap what you can buy? well, idk you may be obsessed with the sweet astetic appeal of a 2000 beetle
