There is a nice looking 2002 Audi A6 Quattro in an auciton tuesday.

I'm kinda hoping the engine is shot.

The car you folks are making is what VW should be selling in this country - as an affordable VW.

So I'll certianly be watching with interest. Even if I don' tge tthe car tuesday I would like to do this swap.

Engine is running , car is moving on its own power ... A lot of work ahead for the electronics

Any pictures of the driver's side?

Do all of the gauges work (cruise, temperature, fuel, tach etc?)

All the gauges work now , took a lot of tinkering with the wires . Gab Eurosport did a wonderful job with the adaptation

Currently none, but would like to buy a mk4 Jetta with an ALH

I know this is an old thread, but would like to know something. Did you just rewire the original ALH ECU to the b6 body harness or more was involved to do this swap?

audi a4 2.5 tdi 98 quatrro 6speed
my dream is an early b5q avant w/ 6 speed.
Just import one ! They about the 2.5k -3 k euro mark, factory made with the ATJ pd engine in Europe or with the AFN 1.9 tdi VE engine. The facelift pd has 7 speed and better underpinnings compared to AFN which came only in prefacelift on some markets !
I have a very, very tidy b5 tdi Quattro but with the 6 cylinders v6 engine in it, for some reason I like it a lot more, however if a decent pd engines will come my way it will be snapped asap ! The pd combo/b5 avant quattro is in my opinion the best blend of power and decent handling although even the b6 tdi Quattro or b7 tdi Quattro is a nice blend !
Just tuned a BPW 8v 2.0 tdi engine for a mate, I fitted a bv43a turbo cartridge into bv43 housings from the 2.0 16v engine, almost plug and play ! With a tune and dpf delete it goes really, really well ! Car is a dog (had A light front accident and requires a full front end) but runs very well and the Quattro, 6 speed manual and the engine works very well together.
