I Dont know about the clocks but all the others will be true as it will have immbolisers built into the ECU and the transponder will be in the key. you could cheat i suppose and take the transponder out of the key and tape it to your ignition barrel.

but you might aswell use the existing key for added security

My brother has a polo with the 16valve bumpers etc.. had a bump at the weekend, so car needs a full front end and a door, was thinking of taking the car off him and using it as a project car

need to convince him his car is written off 1st cos he aint got a clue, then get it in my mates garage hidden for a few months LMAO

the vag engines are good for nearly 300bhp without changing pistons and other internals. ask on www.edition38.com you will find out loads of info on 1.8t conversions for the mk1 and mk2 golfs

VR6 into a mk2 golf like a 89 or a 90 is very very easy as well, much easier than a 1.8t
