Hi, I am looking at an 05 A4 with the 1.8L engine with auto trans. The problem is the car has a knock! I was wondering if anyone could tell me what year Audi or VW passats carry the same shortblock as the 05? by shortblock I mean the bottom portion of the engine only!

I have been looking for this info all over but just cant find a reliable answer. I am planning on rebuilding the head and getting it back to stock! Just want a used bottom end to go with it!

thanks in advance,

 

It would seen that the 2002.5 to early 2005 A4 Has the same AMB short block.

 

got it thanks! Do you you know if it would make a difference if its from a FWD or Quattro? Also manual/auto trans!!

cheers,

 

it shouldn't make a difference about the FWD or quattro. The 1.8 has a different fitting in the back of the engine to fit in to the clutch or the torque converter.
man/CVT shortblock engine is part# 06B-100-103-GX
5 speed auto shortblock engine is part# 06B-100-103-HX

 

Thanks for your help, I appreciate it!
