Title: AGU head on AUQ block Post by: giowz0rd on June 25, 2022, 10:06:16 AM Hello ppl,
I am just giving a chance to restore an 8L here in Brazil - the AUQ head height is lower than the minimum, so, I will have to change it. There is a lot of AGU heads available for buying, but not even one AUQ. I just found that AGU would fit, but how about the VVT and cams? If someone already did that, please tell me :) Thanks!

Updating because I didn’t find it in anywhere: One day after the post, I just found an AWT head (from Passat, with VVT). The main problem: Passat engine is longitudinal, A3 engine is transverse - so I will have to adapt the intake and exhaust manifolds. In your opinion - does it worth the pain to adapt these or finding an AGU/AUQ is better? Thx!

Title: Re: AGU head on AUQ block Post by: prj on July 02, 2022, 02:45:45 AM Manifolds are bolt on indeed, but do I remember wrong that some tinkering was needed elsewhere?
I remember that it was not completely plug and play for some reason, but it was a very long time ago. Title: Re: AGU head on AUQ block Post by: fknbrkn on July 02, 2022, 03:15:14 AM Different mounting size for the fuel injectors - spacers or machining required

I have an BAM head, taken out from an 2002 S3. Small port, with VVT. PM if you have interest.

There's timing belt/pulley offset difference between 058 (longitudinal only) and 06A (mounted both ways) engines. Other than that, SAI and VVT I dont recall anything else that would not let to swap the heads p&p.I remember that it was not completely plug and play for some reason, but it was a very long time ago. About year ago I swapped bare BFB engine from B7 A4 into 8L A3 by only cleaning some previously unused threads in the block and bolting over everything ::) |
