Early B5 1.8t engine swap compatibility?

[hellacious925]

hello i have a 1997 B5 and my engine smokes and has low oil pressure, my question is which 1.8t engines can i swap into it with the least amount of trouble?

AEB would be easiest. Just drop the old out, slam the new in.

Well honestly I can’t find one for the life of me. Anyone know where I could get one?

I know the aeb is a 058 block if I’m not mistaken, what year could I swap into it and could the Passat 1.8t from the same years also fit? I’m thinking until 2000 is when I believe they went to 06A?

yea passats from the same year also have an AEB motor, pretty sure you're right they switched at 2000

so 1.8t Longitudinal mounted from pre-2000 would be an the best option? i know DBW was introduced in the late 90's but i can swap the parts i need off my engine
