hi all, i'm new here but have been using the forum for awhile now and have never introduced myself or my car .
i didnt want my first post to be about a problem but unfortunatly it is. i have a 2000 audi s3 APY and today it has decided to chuck a rod through the block . i'v been searching around the forum and cant seem to find a definate answer to what other engines i can put straight in to my s3, i'v read so many posts tonight that i think i'v confused myself lol.
so my question is: what engine codes will go into my car without any wiring issues/problems, and will an engine from a vw, seat or skoda be alrite or will they not work with the ecu etc?
i can get my hands on an amk engine but i'm not sure weather it will be alrite as i remember reading about the apy having mechanical vvt or no vvt?
i'm planning on doing a straight swop if i can but am willing to change things from my engine if i have to.
hopefully some of you will be able to clear things up for me as you all seem to know your stuff about these cars/engines from the posts i'v read so far.
thanks in advance
