The Project Pad

But you can also use the 5-gear-gearbox from Audi A4 1,9 TDI Quattro (or VW passat TDI....1996-2000), the code is DGW, it's a 01A-Type (the box is the same like the gasoline-gearbox) and fits plug&play in the Audi ! So you don't need special gearbox-holders, linkage etc.... It fits plug&play !!!! That would be the easiest thing! (but I think the drive flange are different, like the DQT/CYT, so you have to change that, but that would be no problem). And you also have to check that it fits with your rear-diff.

Here you can find gear-ratio-dates:

here a picture of the DGW-gearbox:

Good info my friend. But i have 6 gear CYT gearbox only left find linkage i found one from a6 allroud 2.5 v6. (~200$)

Not much of an update, however, happy to say the RS2 lights are here.
Couple of the tabs broke during shipping, but nothing some epoxy could not fix... here they are in all their glory.



I also got some bilstein shocks to install, front will be complemented with UrS HDs using Mance BBKs and Coupe Q springs.
Rear just a set of A4 Sport shocks. Will see if the weather holds up and I can do that before Christmas.

Your car looks damn good

Thank you

Just sat and read thru this from start to finish, i'm tempted to do this to a s2 avant i'm picking up soon, would make a good conversion so will see.

In Germany, someone put an 1T in an Audi V8 D11:

I am actually looking for S2 Avant already to do the same thing
My original idea was to find a nice A6 2.5 quattro avant to import, but I find those cars a bit too big for my liking.
S2 would be perfect.

I guess turning an RS2 into a diesel would be sacrilege. :slap:

In the states or getting one from the uk and importing it (not sure if you can yet)

Getting cheap over here. Just gotta decide do I want to do this or carry on with other projects, my urq still needs finishing :(

I'm in Canada so anything 15 years or older is game :wink:
Looking for LHD so mainland Europe.

ah ok not too bad then. There is a lhd 2.8 cq on ebay currently in the uk I noticed it the other day, there was one 20v lhd avant quattro in the uk on s2forum but not sure what happened to that.

The B4 quattro avant with 2.3E motor is a rare beast in Europe, most are either 4 or 6 cylinders.

Yeah i've not come across one in person before...

swietny project Marcin!

LHD S2 Avant still keep their prices unless they're already in the shape not worthy to ship it overseas, let alone RS2.
2.3E is the way to go for you if TDI 5L is your desire. There are some nice 1.9TDI builds out there, did you consieder 4cyl?
I am still C4 chassis lover but everything Audi Avant always gets my attention, especially S2.

Sorry, I am not a 4 cyl kind of guy..

I have my "men on the ground" looking at this one..

Being a 5 cyl it will be a perfect car for the next swap.

How much fun is the TDi in the snow !?!?!?!?!
