    BRD Engine Mountings (quattro)

    So after bolting in my engine and adding the ancillaries I'm not happy with the angle the engine is sitting. It seems to be sitting back on the left side or forward on the right come to think of it. Can anyone tell me which holes the engine mounts go into for the BRD engine ?

    2.0tdi 170 turbo gasket??

    Yes, correct - no gasket fitted originally, which I think personally is a joke. My car had the turbo replaced at a very reputable Indy in Glasgow who fitted a gasket. I was unaware of this until the engine gave up the ghost and I am in the process of fitting a new one. I went into Audi Edinburgh...

    Engine code

    Hi, Is it not on the left handside of the engine block where the gearbox mates to the engine. Ask the breaker to try and take a picture of the engine number and send it to you. They are awkward to read but with a wire brush or emery paper then rub a bit of chalk or crayon it helps it stand out.

    BRD Engine Number Location

    Any takers on this, even with the engine out, I can't for the life of me see an engine number anywhere. Obviously a sicker on the cambelt cover but I would have thought that it would be stamped on the block. I may find it when I take all the ancillaries off.
