A friend of mine has blown his engine in his 2008 A4, it's an auto cvt. I know there's lots of variant's of this engine so my question is which one is going to be a direct replacement? The current damaged engine is the BPW type but ideally he like to drop the 170 version in. Is this a straight swap and what would the engine code be please?
BRD is a 170 version, there might be others though. And I couldn't tell if it's s direct replacement for a BPW. The BRE is a compatible 140.
BPW? Is it a convertible? Engine doesn't determine if car is 170 hp or not. It's injectors and turbo sizes that are the difference. Engines are the same for the most part bar oil pump/balancing shaft configurations
