The owner of this 1999 Volkswagen Passat B5 has upgraded every major component with parts from Audi. The engine is a twin-turbo 2.7 L AGB V6 from a S4 (B5) that produces 261 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Power goes through a six-speed manual transmission from an A5 (C5) and Audi AWD system. The front axles are from a S4 and the rear from an A4 (B6) while the rear end is from an A6 (2.7 L TT). The only part still from the Passat is the driveshaft. The brakes are even from an Audi S4 (B5) with 321 mm rotors in front and 269 mm rotors in the rear.

Passat B5 fits for conversions like this rather well, since in B5 engine is maunted longitudinally, unlike newer ones in which engine is mounted transversely. Also I think B5 Passat shared platform with B5 Audi A4, but I’m not sure.
So, you made an Audi A6…
I’m a Kenyan owning a Passat B5 S/Wagon running an AZM Engine on a 4motion Auto and I would like to upgrade the engine for power and less consumption… any idea?!
Very hot passat
