Just purchased my first diesel auto estate. Running it on my own WVO which is awesome.These diesel autos are rare even by Scorpio levels. The box is u/s. So, going to fit another. Question is, how feasible is it to fit a A4LDE instead of the current A4LDe. I know the PCM's differ but, will i need to work around the EEC IV and EECV problem. If so, how? Loom etc.. I only ask as i have a nest of A4LDE's Thanks.Adam.

Don't bother, far too much hasle, fit the correct box, or get your unit re built, it will be cheaper and far mor successful

Thanks Gozz, i appreciate your help. Out of curiosity does anyone rebuild auto boxes here. If so, what would be the cost of a rebuild. I have an abundance of spares if other parts are required as an exchange for labour. Thanks Adam

If you get the box couriered up to me and back again I'll do it for £450 all in with a 12 month / 12000mile guarantee 
That goes for any Scorpio Auto Box, as long as its not been stripped / bits missing !!
You will have to get the converter rebuilt as well, about £120 plus postage, but I can arrange that for you, will be cheaper to get it couriered direct to you, than sent up here then back to you
You will also need an old electric pump, tubing, and some parrafin to flush out your oil cooler and lines as well as compressed air to blow them thru afterwards
HTH
PM me if that's any good to you.
Regards Dave

You sure the box is definitely u/s, not something else making it seem like? The Scorps can be tricky like that
