If it's the same engine, worth a punt. If it's different, don't bother trying unless you've got a long time and deep pockets!

Re: Engine swap c5 to c4 grand picasso
Contemplating scrapping both, same engines bar a few differences with hoses and cat , my main concern was ECU . If I went to the trouble of swapping them would it start ? Would it be a waste of a few days of my life lol !!
