This may be useful if you don't already have it:

Thanks, I was fortunate enough to find that already. Oddly it also doesn’t mention anything about ignition (Starting the car). I bought a timing belt car. What motor did you put in yours?

I have started and stopped the swap a few times and never completed it. I have an AUX engine from an '03 A8 that is currently sitting in a 2000 S, partly wired and no plumbing done. I have a 32 valve ABZ engine from a '98 A8 on my garage floor with the harness removed and partly mated to an '01 Tiptronic base. Both projects became less urgent than other projects and were set aside.

Now I'm thinking the AUX will go in the '01 Tiptronic and the ABZ should go in a 914 ...for next years project list.
