skauldy Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Hi folks, Not lr related but a friend of mine has a vw toureg its a manual and the engine blew. He bought a replacement engine out of an auto and the vw dealer is saying he cant fit an engine that came out of an auto into a manual. Is this total bs. The toureg is a 2006 2.5td thanks for any advice Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich broom Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Bare engine should be the same. Refit original look etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 An auto gearbox doesn't have a flywheel (the torque converter does that). You would on a lot of engines have to swap the flywheel housing, but it might not be removeable and is part of the engine block and this would mean that you can't fit it. Other things, such as differences in the block casting for things such as linkages, differences in exhaust mounting, and starter motor locations might also be different.

Tanuki Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 There *could* well be some significant and problematic differences: sump/bottom-of-engine closure, DMF, crankshaft where the torque-converter/DMF mounts to it, crank-position-sensor (if operated from the flywheel/torque-converter), the oil-system, even the vibration-damper on the nose of the crank.

pat_pending Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Just ask the VW dealer what the differences are. I can't imagine why they wouldn't fit it if it were possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
