No. Tiguan is transverse mounted and shares its basic platform with the golf.

The B5 Passat is longitudinally mounted and is based on the B5 audi A4 platform.

Almost nothing will interchange.

Thank you for that info, my inquiry was for whatif my engine in my 05 Passat decides to crap out due to that balance shaft issue i been reading about and I would just install a good modification instead of a delete.

There are just too many to list....
The Tiguan was not sold here with a TDI engine.

And the BHW engine in your Passat, once the balance shaft issue is corrected, is just as good if not better in some respects than a lot of the newer engines anyway (at least, it is simpler and seems to be tougher, and it is pretty much just as powerful).

I think your recommendation is the best option Thanks
