CXHA / CXFA compatibility

[Andy Johnstone]

Afternoon all. Firstly I apologise if this has been asked and answered before, I had a quick search but couldn’t find anything definitive.
I’ve just found out that my van is going to need a new engine. It’s at 80k miles, T6 Kombi 2018, DSG.
The engine code is CXHA. I can’t seem to find any reconditioned CXHA engines around for a decent price, but I’ve found a few CXFA. Are the engines cross compatible with each other without too much trouble?

Thanks, Andy.

Sorry again if this has been done to death before!

Have read here:

Engine code CXHA and CXFA

I understand from reading the VW Self Study Program 564 document, that the 150hp engine is available in two models. The CXHA and the CXFA, the difference being the FA is fitted with a pair of balance shafts designed to iron out bad harmonics. Does anybody know why there are two different models...
