Donor for engine conversion. Audi 3.0 or 4.2tdi, fwd non cvt
Discussion
Looking to do an engine swap, specifically an early 3.0 or 4.2tdi into an fwd 2019 auto man tge/vw crafter.
Preferably a 6 speed torque converter auto, but i believe most of these are 4wd.
Is there any 2wd variants that are not multichronic?
Or does anyone do an adaptor kit to make the 4wd variants run 2wd?
I can take care of the subframe fabrication and wiring changes.

The auto box on the back of the 3.0tdi was a ZF 6hp26.
This is a REALLY common transmission, used on BWW, Landrover, Audi and many more. This thread is interesting, as it shows how the transfer case is a seperate bolt-on assembly. https://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/post522650.html
I would guess that a little bit of ZF parts-bin swapping would see the tail replaced with a (probably BMW or Jaguar) item.
Have a look at https://www.rangerovers.net/threads/6hp26-intercha...
If you're needing to do a FWD conversion, that could be a whole trickier game, there might be sone 2.7s had a 6-speed manual that could be used.

They made the A4, A6 and A7 with a FWD 7 speed S Tronic.

I really dont like the 7 speed s tronic, my wife has a 3.0 q5 and the gearbox is the worst thing about it.
Tried quite a few v6 q5s and the gearshifting is similarly dimwitted in all of them.
The 8 speed in her old cayenne was great, the 8 speed in my van is great, and the 6 speed in our old allroad is fantastic.
Could the v6 mate to the 2.0 bitdi 8 speed auto?

Looking into it more an stronic 7 speed might be my only option. The 4wd has a different floorpan.
Might try a gearbox remap on the mrs car to see if it gets a bit less dimwitted.
Spent some time studying wiring diagrams, and long coding options on modules.
It looks like the sticking point may be getting the s tronic 7 speed talking to the crafter abs/esp ecu. Without a valid compatible speed signal from the abs on the canbus the tcu wont shift properly, and they are from different generations. Need to take advice.
