I bought my a4 with a motor swap. Came out of a 98 Passat. 1.8t. I can not find any info on the motor itself. Its getting close to timing belt season and I need to figure this out. Where is the code on the block??? Online its either an apw, aeb, atw, aug, or awm.

On a side note, the car is asking for an inspection. Assuming its just time for a lube/whatever and oil change since no lights are on.

 

It will be stamped on the tab like in the pic in this link.

Ur the man!

Thank you lol i dont know how i missed that giant stamp

 

what was your 3 digit engine code,just curious is all.

 

i too was gonna ask the same. =P

 

Its the AEB too bad there is no kevlar timing belt for it tho =/ haha

 

IMHO, the kevlar belt is an added insurance you really don't need. The tensioner is usually the piece that fails long before the belt ever does.

Speaking of the "inspection" light, on the tripometer, how the hell do you reset it? I've had mine on for about 15K miles now, several oil changes, a TB job, and so on and so forth. I checked the book, but I never saw it.

 

Thats what ive been reading. But yeah, i figured you could just clear it with an obd-II or the vag-com. I dont actually know since mine came on yesterday.But hopefully someone does cuz I am not taking it to anywhere thats going to charge me. thats just stupid lol

 

Brad... come on...
