Hey There!
I am from namibia! And I drive a 2003 VW Caddy MK1! Always wanted to drive 1 since i was in high school! So ja i bought the caddy about 4 months ago with the idea in mind of fitting the bigger motor. Have been enjoying each moment in my caddy so far until my gearbox started messing around and kept kicking out of reverse and started getting stuck in 2nd and 4th gear! So me and a friend a work with decided modify the gearshift links and saw they where already modified and when my friend removed the cup from the reverse cluster or whateva u call it then allmost no oil came out and bits of steel came along! But anyway so i decided then its a good time to do the conversion and do over the whole caddy like respray and suspension and brakes the works. My idea was to fit the 2.0 8v motor but then alot of guys told me a must go 4 the 16v motor and some other guys suggested i should go with 1.8t audi motor! I know the 1.8t would fit and most vw parts will work with it cause a friend of mine in SA had MK1 Golf GTI fitted with 1 and it was our weekend ride! So what i want 2 know is what would be my best option and is everything envolved 2 get those engines running great in my caddy! And sorry 4 the long story but thought i should let you in on the story!
