Just in case anyone is wondering what the actual difference between a BGW and BHW Crank is....here are pics...and yes...I decided to go for the euro crank. Not necessary, but for some darn reason I wanted to do it

Update....
Got the Steering Rack rebuilt since it was easy to get to at this point
Ordered Euro Trans and Diff - 01E GLX Trans Code with 3.88 Ratio - will rebuild them before install
Ordered New Arnott Bags/Shocks for front & rear - will install with all new suspension parts
Bought and installed a dark gray alcantara headliner...looks really nice

I have a set of 18X8.5 9 Spoke wheels that I am thinking about using. They are marked ET30. Anyone know if these are suitable? I was thinking about powder coating them in a dark graphite color.

Did you mean BGW crank and not BEW? BGW was the manual version of the BHW. BEW is the 1.9 PD motor and IIRC has smaller wrist pins for the rods. Not sure about the crank journal sizes

You're correct...that was a typo. I have a BGW Crankshaft - thanks for checking....could have saved me a big headache
I created a spreadsheet to show the wiring crossover for my 2004 allroad (BEL) to the 2005 Passat (BHW) engine. 2002 and older allroads are slightly different.

TDI swap 00-05 Audi Allroad N.A. 6Mt Tranny -with TDI 2.0??
I just want to confirm if the North America 01-05 Audi Allroad - 6 speed Manual, with 4.375:1 Final Ratio , though not ideal is still doable , although freeway mileage won't be as good as UK Diesel 6 MT ,, I suspect the diesel gearset would be tougher also ?? ..This would mate to 04-05 2.0L TDI,, Stage 1 or 1.5 . I don't do a lot of freeway anyway.. Thks

Hello, I am gearing up for a similar conversion on my allroad. Going with the LUK dual mass and sachs setup, and a FTH TDI trans, 5.5 spacer and EU starter.
I am just looking for your feedback on the crankshaft engagement, sounds like so far so good? How many miles since your swap?

HI! SteelyS6 ,, I was supposed to buy a Swapped buy a 01 Audi Allroad 6MT ,, but the guy backout ,,? He's still trying to sell it ,, it was on Ebay , and then he pulled off , So i was going to do my own , but because the Gear ratio and weight ,, i mostly won't choose the Allroad , likely a different Audi maybe an A4 Avant ,, i 'm looking at Audi Sedan A4 Build ,, really want a wagon,, Hope it works out for your build ,, keep us updated.
Ahh,,, the crank engagement.
Ended up being not alot - about 3.5mm of input shaft to pilot bearing by my very careful measurements.
I pressed the pilot bearing into the crank and left the end flush with the face of the snout - not recessed to the taper. Mine has been that way for about 150,000km and no issues - I'm leaving it that way.

Factory allroad offset is ET25, but those wheels will work fine on an allroad. They should clear your TTRS brake setup.I have a set of 18X8.5 9 Spoke wheels that I am thinking about using. They are marked ET30. Anyone know if these are suitable? I was thinking about powder coating them in a dark graphite color.

If not, run a spacer.
I'm also in the process of hunting down a passat donor and doing the conversion, love all the other upgrades you have done.
