But look at the well rounded education you are getting by reading this useless information
Come on Andy it is easy to clean an engine when it is our of the car. Lets see it in 20000 miles of hard running.The ALH in all its glory:
Another view of the coveted ALH:

And another view:
The engine in the photos has 129k miles on it.
My 2000 Jetta TDI has 284k miles and no engine issues.....other than ....hmmmmm, scratching my head!
The wife said, don't bring that thing to bed...or I'm moving out!
mo·torThere is a big differance between an engine and a motor.
This is an engine...

This is a motor:
You reallty wouldn't want a "motor" in your A-4.
The engine cover wouldn't fit right.
i highly recommend you read about the 2005-2006 tdi, theyre is a reason vw didnt make a 2007 tdi! they are garbage, the alh (2003) may not look as good but is 10x the car any bew will ever beNeed some help hear please, I'm looking to buy a jetta TDI for a computer car. I have found 3 jettas a 2003, 2005, and a 2006. The 2003 is the cheaper priced car, but has some small things wrong with it but nothing bad.the 2005 is about 2000.00 dollar more but alot cleaner car. The 2006 is nice but don't have the option the other ones have on it. All three have about the same miles 147,000 to 152,000. And the price is close on all of them, my question which car would be the best buy for a 4500k to 6000k dollar car. I'm not sure on the Manitance on any of them so the timing belt kit will be the first thing that is done on the car I buy. Thanks
The reason there are no 2007 TDI is emissions. While trucks had common-rail diesels for MY 2007, VW waited until 2009 for unknown reasons.i highly recommend you read about the 2005-2006 tdi, theyre is a reason vw didnt make a 2007 tdi! they are garbage, the alh (2003) may not look as good but is 10x the car any bew will ever be
i have never heard one person say that, the 2006 tdi was a failure and that is why they ended it and went back to the drawing board and came back in 2009.The reason there are no 2007 TDI is emissions. While trucks had common-rail diesels for MY 2007, VW waited until 2009 for unknown reasons.
You've never heard the truth then. 2006 TDIs could not meet the new MY 2007 emissions. Wonder why medium-duty and HD trucks went from VE to CR for MY 2007 and added DPFs? Then in 2009, VW comes out with a CR TDI with DPF to meet emissions.i have never heard one person say that, the 2006 tdi was a failure and that is why they ended it and went back to the drawing board and came back in 2009.
You're not limited to these three Jettas -- there are a lot more of them out there.Need some help hear please, I'm looking to buy a jetta TDI for a computer car.

One thing is for sure: your wife will keep you warmer at night than an ALH engine...My wife says that I'm obsessed with that engine........swears if I bring it to bed she's moving out...........LOL
I very much appreciate this link, it is fascinating (as it likely operates much the same as my current 1Z in my 96 Passat B4V).Nice little write up on the industrial engine.

Check the TDI Conversions subforum and you will see what folks have done with various engines. G60ING has a thread that indexes a lot of the conversion threads, good read for starters.I very much appreciate this link, it is fascinating (as it likely operates much the same as my current 1Z in my 96 Passat B4V).
I found this ALH thread... because I am leaning towards eventually using one of these as a swap into a Toyota Land Cruiser 100 for 1) offroad camping and 2) winter daily driver + snowplow for personal use.
Any thoughts on that intention?
I know this is an old thread and really late response but "it happens" (my son had this car for a few years):Ive never read of a crank breaking on these boards. I'm not saying it can't happen, but it seems super unlikely.
