Ressurection of An Allroad

[Scotty@Advanced]

A few weeks back i picked up an Allroad with a tiptronic transmission that has failed to Transmiss. Yesterday got around to removing the offending parts..

Decided to pull the entire engine/transmission and address some oil leaks, clean it up and change the turbos..



But wait recently I received this from Europe...




WTF Damned Europeans put the steering wheel on the WRONG side of the car.. This is going to take some work to address.




This has me thinking..


It would fit well in that Allroad juiced to 250 hp and 500 ft/lbs.. Plus 35mpg???? Decisions decisions...

[G0to60]

That's the one thing I really don't like about my allroad. It's the MPG. If it had a TDI in there instead it would be the perfect vehicle for me. I say for the swap.

I vote you sell me that euro a6 front bumper for cheap.

**fixed

I wish my all road had a diesel! It would make the best DD ever. Save the crazy 3L single turbo for a S4 sedan.

[Vinchenzo51]

Hmm, euro bumpers you say?

PM sent sir Scotty.

Did you finish that customers ar with the tdi swap yet?

YOU SIR...

I want that RHD clip so badly.......

Betcha can't do it

[teckjoel1320]

Betcha can't do it

I highly doubt it will happen either, but i still want to think i can!

Still working on that the Dual range gearbox has proven difficult.

I'd let it go CHEAP.

[NuGGet_PuFFer]

how's the condition on those headlights? selling?

[Scotty@Advanced]

Excellent but they are RHD..

[NuGGet_PuFFer]

Excellent but they are RHD..

Is the beam pattern really THAT different? What if I swapped with parts from my oem hid headlights?

How cheap

god damnit scott..... how cheap....

[Scotty@Advanced]

god damnit scott..... how cheap....

$500obo you come and get it.. I can ship but there will be freight and crating charges. It will be a front cut at the A pillars and just in front of the front seats.

It will include all the body wiring except the engine harness, and the RHD A/C lines as well as dash/steering wheel and both front door panels.

[khalimadeath]

That would be an Epic project.

[8520]

Oh shit. Its about to get serious.

Scotty what's with the dual range gearbox? Thought you were using an o1e?

god damnit...... let me see when i can pick up my truck to come get it, i'll be in touch very soon...

The dual range gearbox is an 01E with an additional 2 speed gearbox bolted to the back of it. One ratio is 1:1 and the low range is 2.35:1 or something close to that. It was a pretty rare option available only in Europe.

[G0to60]

How is that dual range shifted? Does it have it's own shifter similar to many off road rigs or is it electronically switched? It's very intriguing as I've never heard of this before on an Audi.

There is an additional sensor on the gearbox that detects the speed of the second gear and there is an electrical solenoid on the rear of the transmission that is activate (under 15mph IIRC). A button on the shift knobs signals activation of the low range solenoid. There is an extra module that controls this function.

I'll snap up pics when we get the gearbox back together.

I'd a pretty complex system, I've got the transmission, the switch, the diagrams and the module but putting it all together has been very time consuming. I'm working on bringing a dual range car over from Europe so I can reverse engineer the system.

[G0to60]

Very cool.

Looking forward to seeing the pictures.

[teckjoel1320]

alright scott... i'm really wanting this RHD clip...... How long could you hold onto it for me before i get down there to pick it up? I'd have no issue paying for it in advance....... i just need to get rid of my BMW E46 wagon first and buy my truck and then i'd be able to come get it.... think we could work something out?

How long do you need? 3 months??? 6???

[teckjoel1320]

i'd hope at MOST 4 months. realistically 1-2 months but worst case 4?

That's not a problem... Just need to document the car's destruction in a year.

[8520]

And here I was hoping for updates on the build.

Same here.

Need updates or I'm unsubscribing


EDIT: Just got a PM from Scotty... His bribery has encouraged me to stay subscribed lol.

[Scotty@Advanced]

Sorry guys, not much on updates, pulled the car out of the shop and in it's place is an A6 getting the same treatment. I'm hoping to find a BAU or AKE engine for the Allroad (180hp) I'm saving the AKN and AFB engines I have for customers or A4 conversions. I've got one AKE in stock and that will be going in the A6. There is enough difference in the Allroad AKE that I'm looking at a few Allroads in Europe to bring over.

So plans are right now to take an AKE engine put a turbo and injectors with some tuning to get about 300hp.. and 500 ft/lbs ft/lbs of torque, basically the same output as a very strong Stage III (or 605 kit) on the 2.7t with 35mpg combined.

Sounds awesome. Looking forward to seeing this project progress.

if you get to 35mpg let me know how so I can get that in my engine ? I have never seen better than 9.0 l/100 combine on 2.5 TDI that is about 26-27 mpg

I plan on lowering the revs with different gearing as well as having the tune optimized. 35 might be a pipe dream but over 30mpg will be a sure thing.
