Just bagged myself a '96 (P) Audi A4 1.9TDI, for the princely sum of £100.
The owner ran her low on oil, now the big-end bearings are worn. May just need shells.
I made him an offer of £100 about 2 weeks ago, but he was adamant he'd only accept £200. So, I walked away. Back from work today, and he called, accepting my original offer.
She's an SE model, which means it has climate control, in dark metallic green, and has A4 competition alloys, same as my originals. (7"x16" with 205/55x16 rubber). I'll be picking her up on Tuesday, just round the corner from me.
I intend to buy new shells, and rebuild the engine.
Whilst it's out of the car, I'm going to bolt my S8 motor into the bay, and get the fit sorted. May require custom engine mounts, but we'll see. There's a possibility the mounts for the 4.2L V8-engined A6 C5 MAY fit, as the A6 subframe is no different to that of the A4.
Pictures will follow. I should imagine my flywheel is ready (thanks Tuffty), though it wouldn't matter if it isn't, as I don't really require the flywheel to bolt it to the 01A / 012 5-speed, as it's just a trial fit, I'm not going to be attempting to get the motor running in a diesel-engined car, as the fuel tank is wrong.
Still, who knows? A gallon of petrol, a length of petrol piping for feed / return, and an inline fuel pump from an Audi Coupe type 85, or a Golf II GTI could well serve as a fuel tank. . .
The new car will of course, be rebuilt with it's original 1.9TDI engine, once all my R&D has been carried out.
Pictures will of course follow. The first ones will be posted here on Tuesday, and more as work starts.

pity its not the PD engine. You would probably have had more fun!! That's probably true. But, since the car's just for R&D, I'll later be selling it on, once the original TDI's been rebuilt and installed. The criteria for an R&D car was, it had to be dirt cheap. |

Hey Siena, i see your project is moving along. Well since the price of gas is going up like crazy in canada and it will be at 2$ per L this summer i'm thinking of ditching the v8 but since your close to Europe i wanted to know if you could find me a v6 2.5 tdi with a 6 speed man transmission with all the harnesses and cluster. We don't have any Audi's with tdi since the old 80's models and it would be pretty unique have that motor here. So if you see any, gimme a shout. Thx dude and good luck with your project once again  |

Myself and a friend are actually breaking a 1999 model Audi A6 2,5L V6 TDI.
Transmission is 6-speed manual, engine code is AFB.

You mean like litteraly breaking it? NO i want it  . that engine isnt sold here in canada or in the states so how much do you think it would cost to get one from where your from shipped to canada with the 6 speed manual and guage cluster, cpu and harnesses? |

I mean, breaking the car - it's been rear-ended, and cost of repair is prohibitive.
The engine, 6-speed tranny, harness, ECU, cluster and key will be sold as a package.
Will have to look into shipping costs.
