[A90TURBO]

Hey guys, as title really.

Its from a type 89 quattro, The only numbers on it are AKU 20128

Its still in the car and i dint want to take it out if it wont fit

[caterpillar]

if its the spare gearbox's code... yea it will fit 4syl... some of the boxes after 88 have 2 boltpattern,so they can fit any (!!!!) audi engine too

[A90TURBO]

Yes thats the numbers on the gearbox thats still in the car, its on a 10v 5pot engine.

So 100% will fit?

Thanks.

Matter of interest - do you have the engine (or have access to the engine) that you want to use?

The boltpattern can always be compared by taking a template (brass rubbing style) and offering it up (reversed of course as it's the mating face) ...that doesn't answer the clutch shaft details but it does answer the pattern details.

ive just replaced my 5 cylinder 10v with a 4cyl 20v in my type 89 90 quattro so i say yes 100%

Thanks guys.

Keeper of the kitten ---> I have the engine that i want to fit but the gearbox i wanted to use is still in the car that im scrapping, i didnt want to take the engine and box out of it if the gearbox is no good for my new engine.


Sam80quattro---> What clutch/flywheel did you use? The old 5pot one??

Caterpillar ----> Thankyou.

i used the a4 clutch and flywheel, but i've also replaced 2x 16v engines with 5cylinders and used the 5 cylinder flywheels and clutches both times. hope this helps

I guessed the 5pot stuff worked but thought id ask sumone whos done it.

Ok, ive got the 10v engine out and the flywheel dont fit the 4pot 20vt engine, any ideas?

[sam80quattro]

fit the 4 pot flywheel

[caterpillar]

4 pot flywheel will not fit 5 pot....
use the singel mass flywheel and 6pucker sinter w springs in the hub....

[sam80quattro]

4 pot flywheel onto the 4 pot engine.....

Audi B5 A4 clutch setup is needed to use the 01A or 01E trans with a VW/Audi 4cyl motor. you also need the A4 B5 starter as well.

have 01E behind 20vT 4cyl in my CQ. and i use a B5 A4 FX-700 twin disc clutch setup.
