Replace defect T6 (CXHA) motor with T6.1 (CXHA+). It is straight forward ?

[JANAA]

I have had an engine failure on my T6 2017 TDI 150HP CXHA, My mechanic tracked down a replacement engine from a T6.1 2021 TDI 150HP CHXA+. Can this engine be put into the T6 without too much work?
Regards Jan

I dont know the answer to the question for sure, I may be corrected but my guess is it wont be that easy. The T6.1 is based on the MQB platform, while the T6, uses the PQ25 platform.

While most of the coolant...
