That to me just sounds like them working with what is most readily available for themselves, since the BGW is not a North American engine, the BEW is the closest in our market that came with a manual. They'd just have to remove the vacuum changeover valves from the fault list for EGR cooler flap and intake manifold runner flaps.
Ticket system via the tuner who coded my ECU.
Catching up on reading through all this. Just installed an 01X Euro TDI gearbox in my son's Passat. At 80 it turns 2000 RPMs. I did have to access the cluster and change the bit to read ABS for the speedometer. I did NOT change any ratios in the ECU and the cruise works perfectly fine.
Question on the 02X brace. I have pulled several of these from A4 B7 cars and that brace hits the tunnel before it gets to the subframe bolts. What car did it come from? An A4 B6?Update Sunday 3/12
Today was a very heavy progress day despite the lack of pictures!
Bolted up a 228mm SMF HD flywheel, clutch and Pressure Plate. Stated to hold around 315ftlbs.
Got the o2x bolted up. Utilized the Stock BHW dust shield fits perfect!
Stock BHW starter also bolts in!
Got the engine mounted up! Seemed like forever since I;ve had it out or maybe it was the space it was taking up in garage that was
getting to meConnected a few basic easy access items.

Under side shot of the o2x transmission bolted up utilizing the o2x brace. Fits like oem, shifter assembly and linkage also fits like oem. The o2x is also awesome because the factory triptronic driveshaft bolts in without any modifications.
Things to still figure out:
Exhaust - I think Ill utilize the stock downpipe and go into the dual pipes with a Y. Will the v6 mufflers be to restrictive?
Fuel lines - the v6 lines are bit short as they come into the engine bay... I think I may swap over the lines from the BHW
Fuel pump or bridge- I was told that I could bridge the return and feed fuel lines to slow the pressure down from the unleaded v6 fuel pump. Im also curious to see if anyone has swapped in the BHW lift pump to the v6 4motion tank.
Ill keep plugging away at the wiring and the other connections this week. I purchased a stage 2 tune, immo delete and auto to manual conversion from Malone. I have to send my ecu to them yet. Will try and ship this week.
Dumb question, but did you put the TO bearing in the correct way? I put one in backwards once. It wouldn't release the clutch needless to say.
The B6 and B7 trans crossmember is the same. There IS a different crossmember used in European 0A3 TDI cars that has a hump only on the right (passenger's) side, which might be a better fit for the B5s. The 13mm bolts do not line up to anything.
I Think I maybe chatted with you on Facebook regarding this in how you coded the eeprom to read the abs speed signal instead of vss.
You will have to modify the tunnel slightly to allow the o2x brace to be bolted flush into the Passat. You have to remove the outer skin on a few inch section on both sides. I cut welded and painted. The large subframe bolts line up, the small 13mm do not, I just used riv-nuts and attached those that way.
Im fairly confident I installed correctly, but to confirm would you say the bearings have to flipped towards the front or back? Its strange, because right after bleeding it works properly, but then days later doesn't want to seem to work. I have left my pressure bleeder on the unit overnight at 15psi to see if I have any pressure loss first before potentially pulling trans or replacing either clutch master or slave. There is no brake fluid loss.
Yes I’ve tried both
Ahh I guess I missed that part. Sounded like it just bolted right up. I fabricated a brace to line up with all the Passat holes. Didn't want to cut the body or cut a chunk out the brace and weaken it.You will have to modify the tunnel slightly to allow the o2x brace to be bolted flush into the Passat.

On level ground?
I'm assuming you've driven the car a bit already, so this may not apply, but I've had a couple cases with other cars where a brand new clutch was basically stuck to the flywheel and even though properly bled would not allow me to shift into gear with the engine running. Solution in my case was to just start the engine with the clutch pedal depressed and shifter already in 1st gear. After that, the vehicle drove normally and I was able to shift gears with the engine running.
I'm interested in this clutch setup! Are you just using the 2.0T starter or can you use a BPW or other B7 TDI starter? What did you use to space the pressure plate off of the flywheel?
Im wondering if Im running into this issue. Ill have to get it on the road a bit more to see if this is the case. Its mainly been stationary.
Im using the b5 manual parts. new b5 master and new b5 034 motorsports clutch slave with braided line.
