Need advice on engine problem
I have a 2001 A4 with a manual tranny. The timing belt broke and basically screwed up the engine. I purchased a used engine but it was from an automatic. The rear of the crank is different and the engine won't work in my car. Both my old engine and the one I purchased are code AWM 1.8T. My question is this: Can I open the bottom end and take the crank out of my old engine and swap it into the one I bought? I am assuming the blocks are the same. Would there be any problems I may need to address? This seems like the fastest and easiest way to reslove my problem. My other choice would be to sell the used engine I bought and purchase another one from a manual car. Any thoughts or ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
