Re: 6r polo gearbox kfk or mzl

I've messaged a couple of breakers and they tell me that the mzl and kfk are identical.
I've asked gearbox specialists, but they either don't answer my questions or are reluctant to commit to saying 'yes they're the same'
So in a bit of a fix

1.6 tdi Cay engine plug and play?

Hello,

Just after a bit of information,

Have the chance to buy a cheap 1.6 tdi as a bit of a winter project, but the engine is 'fooked', is it just a case of removing the old lump and putting in a replacement engine plugging in and playing?
