i personally would not consider the 3.0 avk. while it may make nicepower and sound good it can be something of a service nightmare for the uninitiated. it has the same tendency as the 30v motors to leak. ive seen avk's misfiring because the spark plug tube was filled with oil. the factory procedure for changing the timing belt uses a variety of special tools unique to this motor. the engine management and wiring is the most complicated of the engines mentioned and also has a number of technical bulletins related to wiring harness problems/misfires etc.

Most engines use special tools to change the t-belt; I know my 12v AAH uses a couple specialty items that I keep on hand. My MB's use special tools to replace the chains, too. It's the cost of doing business with engines I like to keep around for a while.

you gotta be pretty hard up to pay Samstag prices. I bought my AAH tools off of ebay for cheap. Yeah, different engines take different tools--BFD I wouldn't opt for the 30v either, but it's not 'cause of a few piddly oil leaks or the need buy special tools.

glad you like the conversion.the bulkhead is moved about 3" and the crossmember notched and boxed.$595.00 for tools is a stupid amount of money, my timing bar is genuine audi and cost about £50 crank locking pin can be easily made by turning down an audi drive shaft bolt took about 1/4hour to make.looked at lots of engines when i did my conversions and the s4 made the most sense by the time ive finished of selling the rest of the s4 my engine will cost less than samstag change for those tools.i built this with the idea of turbo/injector upgrade in mind (chargecooling system rated at 520hp) but reduction in low end torque v more power not for me this thing will pull 6th gear from 50mph and strong from 70 by changing to k04's or hybrid's will move the power up the rev range.ok with 4wd and traction control but this thing wheelspins enough as it is.

How did you adapt the Audi V6 to the Porsche transaxle? I'm under the impression that the V6 uses the same bellhousing configuration as the old I-5 engines, which is close, but not quite the same as the Porsche. SyncroGhia has a thread here about adapting an AAN to a Porsche box, and he's had to do some minor mods to the trans in order to get them to fit together. Just curious if you had the same issues to deal with.

Thanks,

Thanks for posting the pictures of the Audi 2.7T engine swap.

We have an A6 that was left at the dealership with the 2.7 after it lost a timing belt. Basically a complete parts car mechanically.

I have worked for Audi for 20 years and have plenty of experience with the v6 engine in all its variations.

Might just have to get a title for it and salvage the powerplant for a later date.

Not a Vanagon owner currently, but who knows what might come around.

Hi , i know this is an old thread but very useful, do you guys know if i can use a mercedes 3.2 clk320 engine in auto form at the mo, its stats r good. 218bhp. 300nm torque . i have one i can use for cheap

[sco99]

Emerald K6 engine management could do away with the crappy Mercedes loom

[Zeitgeist 13]

MB engines are very tall, long and heavy. Additionally, I'm not aware of any commercial engine adapters for their bellhousings, so that would need to be custom made.

Thanks for the reply. its going in a Doka so loads of room and no weight issue as its designed to carry more than the engine.
Any idea of someone to build the adaptor plate?
ive seen a youtube video where the guy uses a thick sheet of plastic so u can see where everything goes so might end up building my own if every thing else will work. like the Emerald k6 ?

[Zeitgeist 13]

Is this an inline or vee six cylinder?

V6 , ive already been told i can remove the power steering and Aircon pumps. i can get the mounts sorted so its down to the clutch and plate conversion. then proving the K6 can control it all

[Zeitgeist 13]

Ah, that could definitely fit into a Doka. Interesting project. Post pics.
