Will 2003 saxo parts fit 1998 model

  1. #1
    Hi all,

    I brought a spare Saxo vts for spares for my 1998 saxo problem is the spare one is 2003 :/ so obviously half the parts won't fit however I plan to do an engine swap and i was wondering if anyone can help me with a few questions?

    If i use the entire running gear ie the struts drive shafts can i put them straight into the 1998 body or are they different in anyway I know the 2003 model has tapered drive shafts but will that matter if i use the struts and suspension as well will they fit straight in or are they longer etc?

    I also want to use the steering rack etc from the donor car as mines got a play in it and thought while I've got the engine out i may as well do that too. Will that fit i assume they are pretty much the same.

    Appreciate any help and advice.

    Regards

    Great info never thought of the sensors etc just thought all the plugs would be the same apart from the ecu of course but I just planned on using my old ecu to much hassle to change the loom i would imagine?
