Can I swap to a bigger engine?

Can I swap to a bigger engine?

Hey, i own an A6 C6 2008 2.0Tdi (BRE engine code) and im wondering if i could change to a bigger engine (2.7-3.0Tdi) and what it takes, thanks

Our answer:

Hi Mario,

It would be technically possible to make such an engine swap, but I'd advise against doing so because of the cost and effort involved. You'd need someone to do it that has done such a thing before with that car, as the electronics are likely to cause many issues. It wouldn't be just a simple bare engine for bare engine swap at all. If you're dead set on having a V6 TDI A6, it would be way easier/cheaper to source an existing one.
