[Vwdiesel] matching an audi engine

[Tony and Lillie]

Not a striaght bolt in, for sure. The bolt patterns for the bellhousing of a 
4-cyl and a 5-cyl are different. So, you also need a 4-cyl trans. And, the 
4-cyl mounts to teh subframe, where the 5-cyl engines mount on the body. 
Those are probably the two biggest differences.
