yes change ecu and all the stuff. gearbox will be ok. the subframe is different. for the final - dont do it. its not worth. ( or if you have nothing to do, then ok)

[hermanio]

motor mount are different and need to be rewelded, i would not do it.

[sunny]

thanks for the info guys, is it that much of a job to convert

[sunny]

which engine would recommend to put in??? greatful for any pointers

[Rusty]

Why not just buy a 2.8 V6 in the first place, they're not expensive.

[sunny]

i wish i had b4 mate as regreat it now. went a bit far far with the car cosmetic wise. the only thing that let the car down is the engine

[hermanio]

5 cylinder will fit straight in. 2.3 20v 7a has almost the same horsepower as an 2.8 v6, but i would not do it when you dont have quattro...

1.8t

x2 for the 1.8t

1.8 t if stock or almost stock is ****. it doesnt make much power,so aint worth the money. if you want power - put 20v I5 turbo. if you want just faster car than now - put v6 2.8 . personaly i didnt like 7A, cos it doesnt have low torque, which v6 does have. so 2.8 is more fun in the city. but like all the people said, fwd is bad situation

2.8 30V from a B5 or V8 from an A8

Sunny, is this the estate that was at the westside meet? Get some pics up !!!
Engine wise all depends on budget and how much work you're prepared to get into. Anythings do able

7A would suit a FWD car a lot better than an AAH. I have driven a 2.8 FWD and its a handful, the revvy nature of the multivalve suits a FWD car imho.
That is unless you install a front diff.

thnaks for the replys

Rusty 1.8t

would be nice but gotter be 5 or 6 pot

Rusty 2.8 30V from a B5 or V8 from an A8
