ABT - Audi 80 1991 - 1995 2.0L CPI MONOMOTRONIC,CAT 3A - Audi 80 1988 - 1990 2.0L MPI FLASHCODES KE-MOTRONIC, VW-1 The 3A is the most commonly used engine from the Audi 80. From what I can tell, the ABT followed on from the 3A post 1990. The injection system was changed but other than that I would guess the block remained the same. If the block is in good order and the price is right, I would go for it.
I've just been given an ABK from an automatic Audi 80, think it's about '95. That any use? The block's in perfect nick, so I hope it is!
Don't see why not. You'll need to change the sump and oil pickup - swap them with your current one. Is it going in a 1.8 8v Digifant car? If so, use the gearbox/clutch/flywheel from your current car. Not sure about the dizzy and drive gear on those. You might need one from a 2E engine.
Though the 3A is usually held as the best choice for a 2L conversion if clearance is a problem not only are they getting rare but pistons are now only available from Audi at nearly 500 a set if you need a rebore! If you must have the shorter block (if you're fitting it into a Driver you'll need one) try to find an Audi AAD block (even rare than the 3A!) which is a 3A block and crank but with different conrods which means it uses 2E pistons, which are cheap and available. 2E pistons have a 21mm piston pin and the 3A 20mm otherwise I suspect you could use the 2Es in a 3A. Guess which block I've got [:^(] Barkstar
Yeah, it's going in an 8v digi. Was wondering whether a Passat GT ECU was a good plan too, since that's also a 2 litre? Just there's one in my local scrappies...
you can use any 2l block, crank sensor or not, you just use the mk2 components and a pb or 2e dizzy. its dead easy.
Sorry for being a dummy but whats a pb? I didnt know that, so the ABK will be ok to use? What about gearbox, will my standard one be fine?
you can use any 8v block for an 8v head, so if ABK is originally an 8v, then yes its fine. have a look thro the faq's 95% of the info is in there already.
i realise this has prob been asked b4 but i have an 88 1.8.8v gti i have been told all i need is a bottom end if i just buy one as there is a few about will it go straight in i see a lot of agg ae whtever it is that doesnt mean anythink to me sorry nice and simple idiots terms (ideally a list lol) cheers daz
check the 2l 8v thread at the top of the engine section. .There i've paid back an answer, to cancel out one of the repetitive questions i've asked
