    I don't remember seeing you post anything publicly about the block until like 3 weeks ago.

    Any input on whether the updated block casting made it's way onto any late APB engines, or if it is strictly related to the BEL engine code?

    I've got the large allen bolt for a crank lock pin on my block (2002 A6). I'll snap a couple of pics later today and record the block number.

    Crank pin plug


    Block part number - Looks like 078 103 027 BF?




    Edit: After looking at Julex's reply it just may be 078 103 021 AE.
