Re: Whats the different between avy and arc engine
As far as im aware it will indeed fit,they're practically identical.The ARC has some very minor differences in the casting but other that nothing at all.
Somebody else may be able to shed some more light.A Guy called "Tegwin" on here may be able to help you more.

As Brad has said its the same engine, slightly different casting on the top block and a different ECU with some different pin numbers but not much apart from that.

All GTI engines have VVT
