2005 Allroad TDI

2005 Allroad TDI

15K USD

Located in Minneapolis MN

I bought this car in early 2016 with the engine already installed. I wasn't very happy overall with the quality of the swap so I went
down the rabbit hole of fixing every minor little thing that I could find. I am very particular with my vehicles.
The one major issue with the swap initially as I obtained it was the front diff and rear diff were not matching. The front diff eventually blew up and then I ordered a new transmission and rear diff from Frans.
Since owning the car I have only put 12k miles on it. I do not do a ton of day to day driving. The car is still registered at a 2.7t, I dont have emissions in my state.

Mileage on car: 149,417 miles
Mileage on engine: 195,572 miles

This will be a high level overview. To see in full detail all of the parts and services used please see the following spreedsheet:

Beautiful car

Nice work, looks great. Should make someone very happy. This is such a nice setup it's surprising there aren't more of them around.

Do you remember what trans code 6-speed you ended up putting in?

Hi,
What sort of mileage are you getting?

I don't know for sure what the trans code is. I would have to get under and look at it. I was told by Frans that it was out of a 4 cylinder TDI with 4.11 final gear ratio. Based on my research it should be a FPP or FTT.


If I am right these would be the ratios:

3.50 1.89 1.32 0.93 0.73 0.58

I get 34 to 35mpg on the highway. The average right now with a lot of sub 50mph driving is 29.

Thanks. Those ratios sound right. I just bought an FTS 01E transmission out of a similar 4cyl application with similar ratios (and a 4.11 rear diff) from Frans also for my own '01 6-speed Allroad. Hoping to end up with an outcome similar to what you have here, though I am as yet undecided whether to go with the 2004 BHW I have here for this car or keep trying to get hold of a 2.5L V6.

Anyway, I won't hijack your for sale thread with further discussion, best of luck with the sale, looks like you did a great job working the kinks out and making it function as intended.

Bump for an interesting car

Where did this car spend its earlier life?
Any rust, in other words.

There is some surface rust in the photos on the front fenders where they come near the front doors. If it doesn't sell I plan on fixing that this spring.

The car was originally from Quebec.

Bumping this up.

Someone give this car a good home.

I think the issue is your listed price is way high for this market.

My price is high but I am open to offers, obviously with any build like this the builder will sell for a huge loss which I am currently doing. If it doesn't sell I will sell my other cars instead and keep this one.

Updated price

I will consider trades for a vehicle capable of towing an RV.

Bumping this up. All offers and trades will be considered.
