your kidding me?

so what you going to do now? another engine swap?

if so have you considered rs6 or maybe using a B6 s4 lump?
or can I tempt you to go 2.7t?

you dont have to tell me ;)

mate what a nightmare youve had lately

how is the car running?

from what i read 4wd pumps don't fit 2wd cars, thats why on the golf mk4 you have to use the seat leon cupra R 4 bar fuel pump, as it's fwd and a straight swap oem fitment, and not the R32 or TT fuel pump... well i am talking abotu audi a4 audi a6 pumps which have the same designed basket the r32 a...

why dont you guys just run either Audi s4 pumps or A6 2.7t ? they are good for 350 and most of them get given away and its all factory fit

sounds like you must have something in there or maybe the fan is on its way out.

I never had to do mine but ask in the B5 section as others can share some light

but i do know you need to clear out all the poo in your scuttle panel under the battery

The thought of handing a Skyline/Scooby/Evo/Supra owner they're bum in a Passat Estate has a certain amount of appeal. :wink: been there still doing it ;) aim higher those are a breeze already i chase and often take new rs6's all kind of porsche ferraris m5 and not had a chance with a lambo yet but...

Mine never used up oil but cam covers are a weak point new seal and some extra gasket sorts that out. Would that be the cause of a waft of burning oil smell I get from time to time (usually after pulling up at the lights after a decent run)? this could very much the case. My mate with s4 lump used ...

nope the 2.7t lump is identical to the 2.8 but with just a couple of turbos on it. The passat engien bay is very much like a A4/A6 so not a issue at all Yes i would love the rs6 lump but to be honest the 2.7t does everything i want it to do and haven't felt the need to upgrade. The only reason I do ...

I know fully well how good the old lexus v8 is and how underrated it is. as for ali engines the 97>onwards audi v8 are also all ali and very very light. The b6 v8 is the smallest and lightest modern multi valve out of all production cars hence the main choice for those with ultimas and kit cars alik...

engine and gearbox might cost you nothing but the work to make it fit and custom parts, time, wiring, etc will very quickly sort that out in my opinion but I wish you the best of luck and hope you can pull it off at very low cost. There are a lot of guys in the US that convert the quattro box into R...

Hello as mentioned

unless its a 4motion/syncro (same as a audi quattro) not worth it.

Otherwise straight bolt on.

My first job list: 1) Find and fix that cold air draft across my feet. This is prob from the ECU cover not on properly 2) Fix the broken glove box handle and refit the light. Comon and easy fix 3) Get my machinist to alter my old 18" Mas Italy VT5R's alloys from 114.3 to 112m PCD and spigot mat...

when i had my 2.8 i found it very good. Ok mine was supercharged (my old lump up for sale at present) but drove well

AMD do a short gear change kit for £188 anyone got any experience of this kit, whether it's any good? not sure about the amd one but to be honest unless you do track and 1/4 mile def not worth it. it might be £188 but also need to be fitted. also there is better known kits out there common on aud...

if the gearbox is not in gear that will be the case.

select a gear and try again
