Caddy mk3 3.2 V6 BUB conversion
Posted: Tue May 05, 2026 1:12 pm
Hi everyone,
I have a 2012 mk3 Caddy and I swapped the engine to a 2007 mk2 TT 3.2 V6 BUB engine. I have the wiring loom, ecu, cluster from the TT, but I was told I need to get new ecu and wiring loom from a R32 mk5. I'm struggling to understand why. Could someone explain why the TTs parts are not compatible?
I'm running my own garage, so not completely clueless, but this is something I've never done.
Also, if you have anyone who is in Basingstoke area to come and do the wiring for me or at least put me in the right direction it would be much appreciated. I have contacted DW Automotive - but he isn't responding to my messages,emails or calls, so anyone else would be great.
Thank you very much in advance
