06A engine swap (tranverse 06A to longitudinal 06A)

**spindoctor** · 06-03-2012 06:19 AM

I did a bit of search here and would just like a confirmation from you guys who has actually done a swap.

Is it possible to use a long block tranversely mounted 06A(AUQ engine from an audi TT to be specific) and fit them to a 2001 B6 (longitudinally mounted 06A).

Friend of mine wants to do the swap and would do the swap and use his existing parts(exhaust/intake manifold, etc) to make the swap possible.

Yay or Nay :)

Thanks boys

Danny

You sure you searched? Anyways yes, just needs to grind out some in the thermostat area

Jesse, thats more like a longitudinally mounted 058 conversion to a tranversely mounted 06A on a TT.

A longitudinal 1.8t is actually a 06B, I believe some of the mounting points for the accessory brackets are slightly different, though for the most part everything is swap-able, just got to have all the longitudinal components.
