AAZ or AFN

Post by **marc123** » 09 Oct 2008, 17:36

Hi all, My 1.6td jx( i think) has packed up on me and i'm gonna fit another engine i have the help of a good mate who is a mechanic and was wondering if there is much difference in fitting an AFN engine as there is to fitting an AAZ??What i would like to know is will i need to buy many extra parts to fit the AFN as opposed to fitting the AAZ lump.Also I will be running the same 5 speed box i have at the mo if i can.The reason i want to run the AFN is for the horsepower as i think if i'm gonna do the job i might as well go the full hog

Thanks all in advance for the advice.

The AFN has an electronic fuel pump so you'll need the ECU,clocks and key with transponder IIRC from the donor car.
Plus with 110bhp you'll need another gearbox geared to the power of the AFN.

And then you can chip it

I bet someone on here might be able to sell you a chip too

How much cash have you got to spend?

Lots of peoples experiences on brickyard about TDI's - some even claim to run them on the same gearboxes but with bigger tyres...

Yup, and of course you can get the engine installation sorted first and change the box later, if it proves too low overall...

.what donor car should i be looking for with the AFN lump i know a golf or passat but what year did they start fitting AFN engines in,also what gearbox should i be looking for???As the question to how much money have i got to spend well that really depends on how much i need too and how long it will take me to save it.
