That really depends on the motor. If the compression is good all you really need to do is check the pan and possibly replace the oil pump. No point in doing a $1k job on a motor that doesn't need it. I mean it's freak to have a new motor but most modern motors will do over 150k easy when taken care of with proper fluid changes and repairing parts promptly after failing

For added good measure, new turbo oil lines would be great and if funds allow, a remanufactured turbo wuld be ideal to avoid having to potentially change it after the enginr is installed. Also, take the time to thoroughly clean and degrease the entire engine. A clean, shiny engine not only looks great, but also makes it very easy to spot leaks of any type once it's running.

Just bought a 01 A4 1.8T B5 AWM with 126k miles. I have no way to check the history of maintenance but seems they didn't maintenance the vehicle at all. Anyway to tell if the timing system and oil pump are on their way out? Thanks in advance

I found an AWM engine from a 2003 Passat 1.8T, manual trans. Can I be sure this will fit the 2001 Audi A4 1.8T (which is also manual, and has the AWM engine).

Will there be any differences, or additional things required, or is it a direct swap?

Thanks in advance.

Have the original coil packs? If so I would buy
the recalled ones since they are covered.

My question to you is a lot of Passat parts fit the A4...I have a 2001 Audi A4 Quattro would the rear driver side hub assembly fit I was told it would just wanted a second opinion
