ok, so i just blew my 1.8T motor for the second time in 6 months. [:@]

i will be replacing the AMB 1.8T in my '02 A4 shortly. my question is:

what are the differences between a engine on a manual transmission and an automatic transmission?

i've heard just the crankshaft and flywheel.

can anyone tell me for sure what needs to be changed.


THANKS

 

Bump for someone who knows something.

Thanks.

 

TWICE in 6 months??? Thats GOT to be getting expensive! What are you doing to cause that?

As for the difference I believe that it is just the crank and flywheel.

Actually, since you mention that. I wasn't even driving either time the motor blew.
1st time was a bottom-end bearing that went.(along with that oil sludge problem). blew it all to hell. including turbo.
luckily that time it was mostly covered under warranty.

this time i think timing slipped and 2 pistons hit the head causing massive damage.
I gotta pay for it now. [:@]


Thanks for the advice on the auto-manual swap.

That picture makes me sad enough to cry. I'd much rather see a puppy dog get hit by a semi truck then look at that again.[sm=smiley19.gif]
