Wasn't very hard to get the engine in, fit exactly the same into the wagon. Currently trying to get the wiring all situated in the car along with other electrical components/modules. I am opting to use as much of the wiring from the cdi sedan parts car, get the car running, and then try to merge some of the wagon specific components in. Fortunately it looks like the tail lights and tailgate wiring from the wagon will plug right in to the rear SAM unit. Hopefully will have more progress to update on in the next week or two.
How much different is the wiring between both cars? Is it possible to use the cabin wiring for the wagon and just use the CDI front SAM and engine wiring? It seems like it would be a major job to swap over the interior wiring. Also, does the mileage on the donor engine go with the SAM and gauge cluster? So many questions, as I have not abandoned the idea of doing this to my wagon. I have since acquired a possible CDI donor, but don't want to have my wagon down for a long time. My new (to me) $1,500 '05 E320 CDI
