    Notability date March 2010 p The AMB series engine was an Inline four engine inline 4 cylinder engine , manufactured from 2001 to 2003 by the Volkswagen Group in Ingolstadt , Germany as a replacement for the earlier 1.8T engines, such as the AEB type engine. As opposed to the AEB, the AMB had thinner wrist pins 19mm instead of 20mm The AMB engine was used in a variety of Volkswagen s and Audi s, as well as being used by companies owned by Volkswagen, such as the Spanish car manufacturer, SEAT . The engine was available in a wide variety of configurations and was mounted longitudinally in most Audi applications, and horizontally in most other applications. The engine came coupled with a variety of Transmission mechanics transmissions including a 5 or 6 speed Manual transmission manual , a 5 speed Automatic transmission automatic , and a CVT continuously variable transmission for front wheel drive vehicles only. The engine was also coupled with Audi s Audi Quattro Quattro all wheel drive . In 2003 it was replaced by slightly higher powered versions such as the AUM. Specifications The AMB had a dual overhead cam DOHC setup featuring 5 valves per cylinder. There were three intake valve s and two exhaust valves per cylinder. This design allowed the cylinder to fill with fuel and air quickly during the intake stroke , and purge exhaust quickly during the exhaust stroke thereby increasing efficiency. The engine got its power from a BorgWarner K03 series turbocharger , and multi port electronic fuel injection . The engine was fired by platinum spark plug s that were coordinated by an electronic ignition system with a separate ignition pack directly connected to each plug. Since it is a hot running turbocharged engine, the block was made from cast iron to handle heat and pressure. The connecting rods and crank shaft are forged steel. The engine is designed to handle higher power than it is tuned for because many of the same components are shared with models producing upwards ...   more details
