Re: PD130 setup for towing/AWD

Hi guys. already made some stuff work pretty easy, but run into a major issue... The AC compressor in the C5 is a "clutch type", and the a4 b6 is variable displacement... and it´s controled by climatronic unit E87, using what it seems to me a PWM signal... Page 59 and 60: http://pierro777....

Re: PD130 setup for towing/AWD

Well, it´s in... now comes the hard part... Note: the Allroad halfshaft flanges(in the gearbox and diff) are specific, if anyone wants to know. The output flanges are simply swapable tough... the driveshaft flanges are exactly the same... but the "low range" box 10cm longer, making the sha...

I´ve already rebuilt the top end, and used the ARL bolts also... unfortunatly my head is cracked... everybody says to me to not worry about it, but i do... that´s why i don´t want to go to far, also i want to keep the OEM look and it´s a daily, with no intension of racing shenanigans... for that i h...

IF youre only after 200hp/400nm (a light remap) the standard clutch is fine (sachs or luk is fine, id go for Sachs personally) And keep the DMF Yes, i opted for the Sachs DMF... i know its fine for light remaped FWD passats, but will it handle 2tons and quattro, plus remap? What turbo is being used...

Hi guys, i´m building a AVF PD130 allroad C5, so i need a good clutch... since it´s 2ton and AWD, and wont be stock power for long... it will be daily driven and 200BHP/400nm is the goal, no more... 1-My question is will a stock 240mm LUK or Sachs DMF kit be enough? i know many of you guys run this ...

Re: PD130 setup for towing/AWD

Updating: Long story short, the manual gearbox(kinda) broke so i demoralized a bit... this and the AVF i bought was a bit of a lemon... So bought a long ratio (A6 quattro) DQT gearbox and diff(4.11) and decided to rebuild the AVF head... just to find the cam was ruined, the Hydraulic lifter had a ho...

Re: PD130 setup for towing/AWD

Ok, more news... Bought a AVF B5.5 engine harness, in really good shape and dirt cheap, now... don´t know if i´m going to use a b5.5 ECU or the A4 b6 that i already have... Been doing a Excel chart of the allroad and passat harness, by color... and this is what i found: 1- Brown Connector T10o on th...

Re: PD130 setup for towing/AWD

If it´s linked to the engine managment in my04 a4´s i guess the only way to make it work would be to figure out how to make it work standalone, since the passat wiring harness as no provision for electric fan. I´ve been looking trough photos online and even the "snout" mount is diferent o...

Re: PD130 setup for towing/AWD

I don´t know how i´m going to do it yet, but i´m thinking of using the engine from the A4 and use a passat ECU+engine harness. The thing is, i don´t know if the sensors are all the same, i know that the injector tips may vary, and don´t know how to manage the radiator fan, since it´s got it´s own e...

Re: PD130 setup for towing/AWD

180bhp and 300lb ft ish is what I ran on my AVF, plenty of torque for towing, mine was a GQ ECU as well so if you want a copy of my modded map I can send it to you, ran it for 40k with no issues. That would be nice, and i thank you, but im really in the beggining, i don´t know to "tune" t...

Re: PD130 setup for towing/AWD

My AKE works, but the injector pump is gone, it works but very hard to start some times, the cams all have some deep marks, it leaks everywhere, the turbo "whistles" bad, it comes in really late, etc etc... so IP+turbo+camshafts+timing belt+water pump would turn out way more expensive then...

Re: PD130 setup for towing/AWD

Sorry, i´m converting a C5 2.5TDI manual allroad to 1.9 TDI AVF, then "mod it" to AKE levels... that´s the plan. I also have an A6 c5 1.9tdi AFN for nine years now, my daily. Already did some mods to both... the allroad recieved recaros, spacers and bought a "IPP kit" for extra l...

Re: PD130 setup for towing/AWD

Well ok, thanks for the input, i´m kinda new to this game... 1st: yes i do have a 240mm clutch, i´ll have to do a "frankenstein" with AVF and AKE clutch or has someone pointed out on another forum, use AVF DMF and petrol 240mm 2.0TFSI, plate and disk hybrid. 2s: the VA is capable of 170/18...

PD130 setup for towing/AWD

Hi guys, if you were to mod a AVF to pull stuff, on a AWD(nearly 2 ton) allroad, what turbo, what injectors, cam? The AKE puts 370nm at 1500/2500RPM range, i know getting this from a 4cyl is not easy, but how near can i get? With what mods? It´s not about overall power figures, i would like to match...
