[Vwdiesel] Audi 5 cyl. TD data

[Tony and Lillie]

Teh flywheel is plug and play from teh Quattro and any other 5-cyl Audi. You 
will have to add a pilot bearing to the crank.

They are pretty similar engines to the TD 4-cyl's, just with an extra 
cylinder. Also, some of the 5-cyl diesels use a pump that is run off the 
back of the cam, which will require you to change that belt along with the 
TB when it's due. Don't know if the TD's are that way, but the non turbos 
are.

Teh cam is unique to teh 5-cyl diesel, and I'd assume the specs are 
different turbo to non-turbo. So, that may be the hardest part of the swap, 
is finding another good cam. I think I have one from a non-turbo, but it 
would take some searching to find it. The diesel's are, of course different 
from the gassers in that the cam is tapered on teh front, just like a 4-cyl 
diesel. The Gassers have a woodruff key that locates the gear, and where it 
slides onto the cam is the same diameter over the mounting surface.

BTW, I'm a bit jealous. Would love a 5-cyl TD Quattro!!

HTH,
Tony
