Well i figured it might be VAG shite, but its still diesel, so there must be some interest here to? 
Have had my uncles Audi V6 TDI (3.0) in my yard going green for almost a year now, its basicallly got chronic ECU issues ( ecu controls engine / abs / traction control etcetc) which has rendered it useless / impossible to MOT, but been relucktent to scrap it as I literally did all the cambelt / oil pump / bottom end etc (real nightmare / expensive in parts to do on the v6!) 6 months before it all gave up, so have been holding on it..
Anyway, after spending months and months trying to get to the root of the electrical issues, I officially give in, ive tried everything, had ecu's sent off / "repaired" / ran new wires blah blah, and just refuses to work...so thats it, its all getting sacked off!
Have decided to fully Mtdi it, orignally ecu driven VP44 injection, so fairly big project given no mounts avalible for a VE / no throttle cable etc.
So stripped it down this afternoon:

Good dose of engine cleaner:

Screw that, pressure washer:

Spent a while firguring how I was going to mount the pump / how i was going to fit a cambelt pulley with a 1inch center shaft onto a 17mm VE shaft, and worked out what i needed, then as it was sunday / couldnt get materials, decided to paint some bits as was looking a bit tatty!

CAT yellow rockers...obviously?! lol, only rattle cans I had to hand!
Going to try to get it running first / MOT it, and then I guess it would be rude not to straight pipe it / put some naughty injectors / turbo in it?!

Just the one turbo, stock for now for MOT, and then ill see what my uncles after, if I get my way itl have a set of 400hp nozzles in it and a hx35 sat in the V, but dont think he will want the lag, in which case he will just have to pay for a big vnt!!
Given my car is just abandoned right now, i couldnt resist starting on this!

Meh pretty much, pretty sure ive got enough bits in my ve room to put a pump together, and the rest just involves the welder / drill and some common sence tbh, oh, does anyone know of any petrol audi a4's i can nick the pedal box from? Need to convert it to use a throttle cable somehow....
