Title: AHU tdi in '98 A4 quatrro????
Post by: Biomen on April 09, 2007, 02:50:39 am

I am trying to get some info on how to,if possible at all,install a AHU tdi in to a 1998 A4 quatrro.I am in Windsor ONT so these cars did not come with diesel option.I did some reaserch on this and many people told me to go for a 2.5 tdi swap but it is very expesiv to get a completr swap.i  have an AHU tdi engine from a 96 Passat so mtdi would be the amswer if the engine would somehow bolt up to the quatrro tranny.Anyone done this before.I am interested in any ideas.My budget is limited so spending 5 gs on a 2.5 tdi is out of the question.I moinght be able to do trades for other diesel cars...

They were available here in AHU and AFN form.

What is the current engine in the A4?

Then the tdi should bolt right up to the gearbox, ratios won't be right though.
Does quattro have any sort of ecu control like haldex?

You almost need a donor car to do that swap.
