DQ200 is a DSG, a very problematic 7 speed version. DQ250 is what we put in here, 6 speed wet clutch, a proven trans.

That's so cool. Couldn't agree more. Especially because recently I've been dealing with CP4 fuel pump failures on the later gen TDIs.

I felt bad, I couldn't get clips of everything and I missed a lot of cool stuff.

Those new S4 engines after 2019 are excellent. That's exciting stuff, luckily it's all right up top!

Yea just deep frying my engine parts! 🤣 It's an ultra sonic cleaner, you can get a small one that'll fit pistons and rods for around $100-150. I've tried a bunch of degreasers in it, and greyz off while the most expensive one, was my favorite because it works well and has a formula that minimally oxidizes the aluminium (compared to other degreasers). Be very careful when doing aluminum, you wanna do 30-60 seconds at a time to make sure you don't grey the aluminum too bad. Steel stuff you can leave in there as long as you want!

@@thirdgeargrind I didn’t know how else to describe it 🤣 and I love that you have your parts list and where you got it like thank you!

I'll be selling mine in about 3 weeks, getting it through MOT first for the piece of mind if the new owner

As you'll see in part 2, unfortunately it was FAR from it lol.

After engine teardown it had spun the #1 rod bearing and every other rod bearing was toast. All the mains and everything else in the engine was mint. The original engine had it's failure after a carbon clean and a replacement hpfp at only 118,000km. I did swap the hpfps onto this new engine.

Nah, subaru making same engine for 30 years and still failing,while vw comes up with new plafrotm every few years, some of them fails, some of them are bulletproof.

Done!

This was interesting, I expected a larger improvement, but I think part of it is my commutes are long distance. I only noticed a 5% difference. If you're constantly in the city I would expect a 10% difference.

If anyone has any other questions don’t hesitate to ask, I’ve done a few of these swaps on 1.8t’s and tdi engines, even did a few VR’s

Brake booster and clock spring also needs swapped in this conversion? I have to do a MK20 to MK60 conversion on my newly acquired 99.5 GTI, would love more of your insight.

Same process

Yes

@@thirdgeargrind glad to hear. That harness you mentioned you'd be selling, how much are you selling them for?

​@@thirdgeargrindI thought it was only possible for Immo 3 Sport tachometer

@@momanskiakabiffbuz6004 this is correct, nearly forgot that immo 2 cluster are incapable of this

@@dubCanuck1 You have to be very careful, this isn't an easy thing to do. Taking it out I had to spin the crank part way, and putting it in I had to connect to 2 connection rods first, spin it back to connect the rest. At TDC you can rotate a certain way a large amount before you have valve interference. I struggled with putting the crank back in as I had lost orientation. I ended up dropping the main caps and equal amount to allow me the clearance to spin it past rods that were getting stuck, and I had manually pushed some rods up and then back down.

The fuel pump is an Audi A3 8P quattro pump, a pump for the returnless setup. The filter is already FSI, I didn't cover it well in this part 1. This was more of a fast and loose video of what I needed to accomplish to get it running and talk about the electrical. Part 2 will be more of a total sum of what you need to complete this swap.

@@thirdgeargrind I used a filter from a mk5 GTI 5.5 bar fuel filter. With rs4 in tank fuel pump mod.

Depends. If your tuner is unable to make the mk5 cam/vvt function, yes, use the 2.8 cams, gears, vvt cambridge. If you have the mk5 engine, it is preferable to use those components if you can get the modified software to match. A vvt connector housing will need depinned on the 2.8 harness and repinned into a certain brown connector housing as well if you are retaining mk5 cams, gears, and cambridge. The cam position sensors are also different so use the respective ones.

@@thirdgeargrind thank you so much for the info

Prices have varied from $7,000 (originally imported), to $10,000, to $16,000 cdn for heavily modified examples. The LHD ones have been increasingly harder to find.

I noticed this as well. Try both, marking the bolts, and see where the final bolt angle of each spec shows up at. My spec is listed for 2.8 12v, 2.8 & 3.2 24v. Looks like 3.6 is different on paper but just like you mentioned, probably pretty similar.

@@thirdgeargrind New stretch bolts arrive this week. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Straight from VW repair manual is states, 30nm + 180 or 30nm + 90 + 90

@@Teasa617 Same in the old Bentley repair manual. But other sources tend to vary. When my new bolts arrive i'll do the 30NM and then try for 90 with the torque wrench set at 60 nm and see where it ticks.

Well I did the main bolt torque test today. All new 10.9 bolts, torqued to 30nm. Paint marked 0 degrees. Then set the torque wrench to 60nm (44ftlbs) and turned the first 4 bolts till it clicked. They all clicked off at about 45 degrees. I then turned them all to 90 degrees. Checked rotation, all good. Then began turning them all to 180 degrees while fiddling with the torque wrench. They were fairly consistently ticking off the torque wrench between 80-85nm (60-65ftlbs). Interesting, as that's pretty close to what I think a 10mm ARP 8740 bolt goes to. Also a bit scary for me as I'd never used a torque + yield bolt before, and my brain was imagining the bolt stretching while I turned it to the required angle. In summary this means that 30nm+180 seems to be about 1/8th of a turn less than 60nm +90. In the grand scheme of things its probably not a big deal. VW Part number 365801.

Be cautious with this, as sometimes the ultra sonic can destroy the internal solenoid. I've done this myself more than once unfortunately.

This was a BMX touareg code 3.2. I believe this one has the mk5 internals, the slightly lower comp pistons, the different exhaust cam and vvt system. We scored on an already rebuilt mk4 r32 cylinder head that sped up the rebuild process. We had mistakenly put the mk5 cam gear on for a second, realized this, and I retrieved the mk4 vvt stuff from the 2.8 24v to put on.

@@dusanmaslarevic561 I am very aware of this problem, lucky for me these guys were just cracked and no large pieces were not located. Unfortunately a different story on a 3.6 that I bought from someone who told me they had done the chains and guides. They messed up timing the HPFP, which caused a noise that sounded like a spun rod bearing. Blessing in disguise. Low and behold I drop the oil pan and there's plastic absolutely everywhere. It was so bad that I pulled a main bearing to find plastic had filled the main bearing groove.
