Engine swap

[Tillydog124]

Hi there
I am looking to swap my 1.8 engine - code QG18DE - mine is a black top and my question is will a silver top fit?
My car is a 2002 and the engine I have seen is a 2005 with the same engine code but I have been advised that there is a difference with some sensors?

Can anybody help?

Thanks

The actual engine itself may work, but the newer engines use electronic throttle body, have a difference inlet manifold and the wiring is completely different, so youd have to see if all the 2002 bits would fit the newer engine.
