Hi there...
Well winter isn't all that far away so I'm preparing another TDI swap (my last one was an AllRoad 6SPD ALH... sold it on this forum)...
So I just picked up an '04 A8L with 109K miles with a blown engine (timing belt interval on the 4.2 is around 75k... so the p/o exceeded that greatly)...
I've got a freshly rebuilt BEW that I'm thinking of swapping into the A8. Has this been done before? Any advice as far as engine / tranny combo? Ideally I'd make this a 6SPD swap as well...
I'm still in the information gathering phase, but I'm starting to pull the 4.2 out this weekend... Open to tips/ideas/suggestions/etc.
Thanks!
