This is lengthy but please bear with me.. I'd like to do a golf mk5 dash swap into my 1991 16v corrado. I've seen it done before so i know fitting it is possibe (as in here http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4029474-2-0T-Corrado-FSI-Extensive-Built-Page-Pull-Up-a-Chair/page3). In my case however i wont be swapping engine at this time due to financial reasons. When i get to swapping the engine it will be a 1.8l 20vt from a mk4, preferably on MS ecu. Right now i have access to a really cheap mk5 dash complete with all its guts intact including steering column, centre console, climatronic ac and wiring. The dash is from a mk5 1.6FSI auto.
My question is.. what other parts must i buy with the dash to ensure that everything remains functional? I know there are canbus issues to deal with so considering that the corrado is ancient, i'll be installing a mk4 engine & mk5 dash.. has anyone attempted this before and is it feasible? I need all the help i can get before i spend any money.
