Well, My beloved Passat has become the latest victim of the dreded sludge. In any even I thought that if I had to replace the engine I might as well see if I can drop in a W8. Does anyone know if it is possible or if there is any info on if it has been done? Help!

Replying to: rafa66 (Apr 07, 2007 2:30 pm) Per my well informed brother, a crate engine is about $10,000 by itself. Then there is the Audi transmission to consider, automatic or manual it doesn't matter, the cost will be close to $6,000. Then there are the different computers, the different drive train, the different suspension, spindles, brakes wheels, tires, cooling systems, HVAC, plumbing and any differences to the inner fenders and firewall that may exist as well. I'm now thinking that my first estimate was seriously optimistic, and that it is short by an easy $10,000. Best Regards, Shipo |
