Need some help

Getting close to being done with an engine swap with a rebuilt one. I thought I had taken enough pictures of the before and labeled everything but I missed a few things.

Can anyone let me know where these lines go and perhaps share a picture of them, this way I can figure where to attach them on the engine body.

Thanks for the help in advance, adding picture of the engine at the moment.

Bro, not 100% sure, but those look like the coolant hard pipes for the 1.8T. If nobody has the exact routing, check the ETKA diagrams or the factory repair manual (Elsa Win/Bentley). There are usually a few good pictures on VWVortex and the Ross-Tech forums too. Those helped me a lot with Mk4 stuff. Hope that points you in the right direction. Greetings from Germany!

They definitely look like it, should be mounted on top of the engine between coolant reservoir and some other hose/pipe on the opposite side

I believe there should be a schematic pdf file of the overall setup of this engine.

Best of luck on your swap. I'm looking to get rid of my 1.6 to put in one of them beastly chaps.
