Hi all.

link to short youtube video of this engine being test run

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3fhXu8IdcU

From the mechanic doing this work:

" For those not familiar, this allows us to use the transmissions from
the B5 Passats and Audi A4 2wd and Quattro in Vanagons (soon to be
bay-window bus too!).
As I mentioned in another thread, I have been working on this engine
for years, since getting the "old style" 1.8t running. This is the
same engine used in the SAH 1.8t kits.
This is also a big step in getting the ALH TDi running CCW too, it
shares the same oil pump.
