About: Volkswagen Audi Group AMB Engine

The AMB series engine was an 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 (19 mm instead of 20 mm). The AMB engine was used in a variety of Volkswagens and Audis, 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 transmissions including a 5- or 6-speed manual, a 5-speed automatic, and a CVT (continuously variable transmission) for front-wheel drive vehi
