Have done some searching already but only found limited info. Basically I've found a complete AEB engine for sale near me which includes most of the stuff i need, Engine, ECU, wiring harness, 2 inlet manifolds (One a polished AGU item) exhaust manifold, k03 turbo already on it, K04 turbo as well (both have no shaft play) and more ive forgotten. But I do understand its a longitudal engine not transverse and alot needs to be swapped, can you tell me what parts i would need? I was originally looking for an AGU engine but this has come up for 350 which seems silly to walk away from, basically is it worth the hassle getting this cheaply or am i better off getting a AGU and paying the premium for it? Cheers
Other than the manifolds I beleive you will need to change the sump, think a 16v will fit, they have external water pump and you will need to change the oil filter housing as its at the wrong angle.
oil pick up pipe as well its not as bad as people will have you believe to be honest especially as you have an agu inlet manifold.
Great so (question I asked elsewhere today) the AEB oil pick up pipe is different to normal transverse Golfs?
Very different shape Chris. The longitudinal engines have the pickup at one end compared to the central location on the transverse engines.
The question of whether to use an AEB engine seems to come up a lot here. So ill take the chance to direct you to a thread where i posted most of the information you will need along with some links. http://www.clubgti.com/forum/showthread.php?t=191354 hope that helps. Cheers, James
Cheers guys some great info there! Going to make a note of everything im gonna need then price it all up and see what the difference is price wise. Hoping to budget about 800 for engine with ecu ect all in.
do you need igntion switch, key and clocks? what about all the errors the ecu will log when things like abs and airbags are not moved obver, or can you get this coded out?
To add to that, the needle bearing is present in the crank nose on the manuals AEBs too, so remove it.
All I can say is, it was in my AEB in the Audi A6 I had. Its was not in the aug crank(longnose) which I borrowed from a Vrs, and shortened the nose 7mm to make it work in my older style 058 AEB.
The crank needle bearing will be to offer support to the gearbox input shaft. Some boxes are designed that there is only one bearing on the input shaft in the box, thus requiring external support to keep it running true. Most RWD type boxes (old fordy stuff for example) used this method. Obviously with the VW backwards clutch arrangement on the 020 box this would not be possible. The input shaft on this box is supported internally with two bearings so does not require the one in the crank.
AEB block G60 in a MK2. Head swapped to AUM unit (small port to match inlet). Turbocharger was junked and replaced with an AGN NASP MK4 1.8 20v unit. Inlet manifold is from an S3/TT, steel sump is from a 16v. The choise to use a "058" based unit was as it allowed the fastening of G lader system and brackets. Vehicle runs and will be compared to a K03s based product.
