I'm sure someone saw this on craigslist. Scooped it up on the cheap with a timingchain failure. Im working on finding a longblock. With 180k on the car, I'm just going drop a lower mile motor in.

Ended up winning an eBay auction for a motor with just under 100k.

Fingers crossed.........

Sweet. Check the balance shafts on the engine that’s in it. I pick up a Passat with the TSI that supposedly had a seized engine. Only issue was seized balance shafts. I think the parts were only $300 or $400 and a simple fix.

That's a good one, and for the mileage looks pretty clean!

Overdue for an update here. Been a busy summer.

Im going to let the photos do most of the talking but in a nutshell:

Ebay motor from an EOS with 90k arrived in good condion. Changed out rear main before install. Motor bolted in fine. Took a break to put a heater core in the sportwagen. First start attempt yielded about a gillion codes and no start. Turns out EOSs have a siemens ECU instead of bosch. Had to re-pin the harness by tracing and comparing wires on the original harness. There were a few that needed soldering because of guage changes.

After running the car for a while, it got new plugs, new battery, upgraded coils, PCV, new replica Audi wheels, timing chains, intake carbon cleaning and APR software. I had European Performance in Billings do the cleaning, chains and APR (good dudes).

Frisky Felix is a happy critter Cheers!!

Awesome Trev!!!

Great update and glad you got the EOS issue sorted. Glad to see some posts here, I'm going to start posting my more in depth updates here like I used to, so Zuck doesn't steal my data

Ian and Quinn are awesome, and I'm very glad to gear they did some work for you. Great things happen at European Performance

Still flogging the shit out of this car! Its been a blast to drive and super reliable.

Managed to get around all three of these fancy rear engine cars on the track at Lewistown when the course got wet. Felix had a fanbase by the time the weekend was over.
