Default Swap 2005 5-cyl new beetle engine and trans to 2000 with a 1.8 Turbo?
My 2000 New Beetle with a 1.8 Turbo engine has lost its timing belt. While considering the repairs, my 2006 New Beetle convertible with the 5-cylinder engine was rear-ended and totaled.

Is it possible to take the engine and transmission from the 2006 and drop it in to the 2000 without major modifications?

Any advice is appreciated.
