If I decided to change the motor on this 2.0T TFSI motor, will any motor from an a4, or a5, or a q5 work since they are all the same TFSI motor?
And will it matter if the donor vehicle is a 2 or AWD?

Hi,

The engine itself shouldn't be different if it is the same size. As far as being 4wd or 2wd, the transmission will still have the same bolt pattern, so it should (in theory) work.

Let me know if I can help.

Take care,

Joe
