Anyone put an RSQ3 engine & gearbox into a Transporter?

[rolla]

Yeah sure, brave man .... poss. I would have gone t5.1 loom, bcm, abs, steering angle sensor .. (I forgot that one) but easy for me to say now eh ... but that factor would just leave upgading all BCM components..!! ... but charging could be attained .. would that be any better ..?

Yearh it’s has the t5.1 steering ( g85) slip ring lol
Then couldn’t use standard rack no room had to go t6.1 electric rack lol , if I can somewho get it to charge I’d be ready for mot

Would this have been easier in a t6.1?

For a Euro5 camper-converted long-term owner, this thread is a temptation!!

True but wasn’t t6.1 money ,

Well after all that looking like engines scrap after checking pipes/ daigrams piping / thermostat and water pump , waters not circulating and bubbling in header. , reckoning blocks cracked

okay first thing to do is a sniff test on your water ... be sure .... im hoping not for your sake, check hydrocarbons from combustion in water content

like this ... lower link has a bung too ...

I have one but when I see this when u fill a system up it’s a self bleed system , won’t evern circulat with thermostate out. Just shush’s of air/ water from cold or warm , / had enoegh tbh time to stop and break it , sometimes u just have to say enoegh is enoegh rolla

If your'e done with it, I can understand .... I pulled the whole transmission in mine 2 times, right pissed off when it was all together and dsg clutch cover was leaking fresh oil...
I wasn't told the cover had been off and seal re-stretched with a pick/screwdriver to refit... first was DMF but wasnt fully fitted tbh, 2nd time was after total bolt up and test drive...
I wanted to burn it ...

 

[Power ut]

Done a lot myself tbh . Not getting any younger lol
Spent 8 months to end up with this , bin ripped off saying was a good engine ( I’ll just double check all the pipes / recirculation motor/ valves and remote the gearbox thermostate ( incase it’s stuck )
I used to mod and change vr6s like they were toys lol

well theres yr next engine swap ... been done though but good bhp...

you have no idea how interesting this is to me. I'm constantly looking at classifieds sites and expecting someone to sell a T6.1 rack with bad mechanical parts! I really want this rail to work on the table.

I have still have it forged r32 turbo in a mk1 4wd caddy 670bhp fun thing lol (16 year ago I did that

Do u mean ur after a t6.1 steering rack?

 

[paddy26]

Which bcm are you using for the charging circuit?
This is the T5 bcm and instrument cluster pinout: http://www.1946vw.co.uk/vwbooks/vw_...onnector assignments selected connections.pdf

What water pump is in it? Some of them have a solenoid and don't move coolant until engine is up to temp.

Yes

Lol Yearh I understand what ur saying , but the audi useing 3 types off daigrams as nothing listed for my engine code ( yes I do have the t5.1 cluster )(2014 ) but if I disconnected the cam wires I’d lose speedo/ rpm signals from dash , I do have a t5.1 bcm too ( that just powers the heater dails lol)
Hernce if I could add a simple old 1.9/2.5 alti would be easy ( if I had the old clocks for battery light to work ( I assume it’s some diode that switch’s to make light go off. ( as there’s also the old bcm 2006 still wired in for the central locking / indicators/ headlights lol as u can imagine with it bin a old 2006 t5 lots of headaches lol

We have charge lol

 

[Power ut]

Yes

Sure I’ve got one

 

[Power ut]

Modifyed a bit more added t6 dash / boost pipes intercooler/ oil cooler

 

[CRS Performance]

Yep

Do you think it would be easier to fit an RS3 engine in to a T6.1 as the electronics MIGHT be more compatible ?
