Audi A4 newbie doing an engine R+R
Hey guys, I'm in the process of replacing the engine in my newly acquired '01 A4 1.8T Quattro, manual transmission. Almost everything went well on the removal, just broke a molded plastic coolant line and lost three little snap-in wire U clips. So not too bad for the first time doing major surgery on an Audi. I have some pics of my progress attached. It would be a great help if someone could tell me what the broken coolant line(first picture) is called, to save me some time. Ill update with more pictures as progress continues.

Re: Audi A4 newbie doing an engine R+R
Ok, so now while I'm deciding whether to get a rebuilt engine or rebuild a used one. I decided to do the RWD conversion, its pretty straight forward but re-assembly is more difficult than dis-assembly. More specifically, bolting the drive shaft back on to the tail of the tranny. It's a good thing I marked the mating surfaces or it would have been much harder. I've never welded a diff before so I wasn't really sure where to weld, but I think I hit the important areas. All went well tonight, tomorrow I just have to remove and modify the front CV axles. Then the conversion is complete, but I'm going to buy another set of front axles and a center diff for winter just in case the RWD doesn't go well in the snow
