I'd also consider the mercedes om617a turbo diesel engine as fitted in the w123 or w124 as it's a hardy engine. But I'd want one that's new, which will be more expensive and harder to source bits for than the river V8.
-
Exactly, I could run it on carbs if I wish. Plus no turbo or egr to worry about. Glad it'll fit. Would my 6 speed manual gearbox work or would I need to fit a T5 gearbox?

I'm wondering this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/195697202625?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JbL9iQ_JQSW&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=IE07kO4STZy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY A rover v8 was a suggestion from a colleague ex mechanic. Wondering whether simplicity is the way forward? The question is, would it fit? And would it mate to the current gearbox? 🤔

Thanks Kev, Think I'm aiming for a new engine, what ever engine that might be lol.
-
Glad you got sorted 🙂
-
No probs at all 🙂 please keep us posted on how you get on 🙂

I believe it's a 12v socket.
-
Just an update. One of the garages who were looking to do the work ha e informed me that getting internal parts are proving hard to source. I believe this to be true and not being fobbed off as the garage is run by the son of a good colleague of mine. So I may have to look at a totally different engine after all.

My friend has used stance + on his A3 8v. You could always look at a bilstein kit.
-
I'm always sceptical of cheap Chinese parts. Can't go wrong with bosh.
-
How very strange! Could it be water leaking nout.of the battery?
-
I fitted one to a ford escort back in the day and it did make a slight difference.
-
I'd recommend trying to sell it in eBay
-
I don't think the tyre pressure warning light is a failure but happily proven otherwise. Yep it can be done by a retrofitter such as Audi retrofits or autologics. Or try a local vag retrofitter local to you.
-
Thank you. One garage said they've been struggling to source the parts. So might do a proper engine swap. You've made a great job with yours 🙂

Simply Audi 2022 Once again it was a cracking show with a great selection of audis. Weather was good. It's such a good value ticket price of £16 as you gain access to the show, museum and manor house. Thanks to everyone who attended, it was great to meet friends both old and new and im looking forward to next year's show. Here's a few pics:

Yep a second hand unit can be coded to the car. Alternatively you could look at an aftermarket apple car play/android auto unit.
-
Glad you got sorted 🙂
-
My advice would be to use a vin decoder which you can find free online. As your vin will store of the information. On top of that there should be a sticker in the boot well which will have various option codes too.
-
Now that I'm not sure. You could always get an aftermarket amp fitted. I'd recommend getting an auto electrican to do it as the current amp will be coded to the car
-
I'd definitely look at the wiring first especially where it connects to the window
-
My crank has gone on my 2.5tdi c5. So gotta decide whether I'm rebuilding the current engine or engine swap
-
Thought it'd be the module 🙂
-
No probs. Please keep us posted on how you get on 🙂

First thing I'd do Is check the speaker size then see what type of speakers you want. Pioneer are a good brand. The optional extra sound system on these was Bose.
