Hello, greetings from Poland. i am a happy owner of 2013 skoda roomster scout with petrol engine 1.4 and manual transmission. Unfortunately the engine died. I could replace it with a new one, I'm wondering if it's possible to do a swap of a complete drive train (engine, transmission, suspension etc) from a skoda fabia Vrs. I can buy a car hit in the rear with low milage engine. Do you know anyone who has done something like this? Theoretically it should be possible as structurally both models are identical. I think so. Can I ask for your opinions, pros and cons of such an idea. I have already searched for information on this subject but could not find it, Regards Freddie PL

I don't know anything about regulations in Poland so firs thing should be to contact your local inspection station.

Technically I' m quite sure this could be done, if you have like moderate experience with cars. Someone could maybe tell more about electrics, I don't know how much the ecu is connected to other electrics of the car, I've swapped engines only on older cars. You should have harness diagram to check everything out. Via the vin numbers of the project car and the donator you can check the parts numbers and get to know what are the differences and similarities. It's never a fast and easy to swap different engine to a car, with enough preparation you could make your decision if it's worth it.

There is no factory made Roomster VRS, so could be a nice to have one of a kind!😁
