Hello,

My engine has some problems due to a timing chain snapping that was fixed but still have issues so I was thinking of getting another engine.

My current engine is a 1.8 TFSI CDAA 118kW 6 speed manual and I found a CDHB from an A4 but don't know if it will fit (match with gearbox, turbocharger, etc), or maybe even a 2.0 compatible engine, or if other engine codes are compatible? Any suggestions are appreciated.
Also if you know where I could find an engine would be great!
I'm from Portugal.

Thanks

I would personally avoid the 1.8 and 2.0 TFSI because of the oil problems these have, but that's a personal opinion..

You can use 2.0TSI CCZB engine, swap can be done easy also ECU swapping for 2.0TSI is possible on your harness.
 
2010 2.0 TSI doesn’t have the oil problem like the 1.8 versions but will need an updated chain & tensioner. so buy the latest E888 engine and ECU you can find.
