The AMB series inline 4 cylinder engine was manufactured from 2001 to 2003 by The Volkswagen Audi Group in Ingolstadt, Germany as a replacement to the earlier 1.8T engines such as the APU engine. 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 with a wide variety of configurations, being mounted longitudinally in most Audi applications, and horizontally in most other applications. The engine came coupled with a variety of transmissions including a 5 speed or 6 speed manual, a 5 speed automatic, and a CVT (continuously variable transmission) on front-wheel drive vehicles only. The engine was also coupled with Audi's signature all-wheel drive, Quattro. The AMB was the most commonly used 1.8T engine in 2002 on The Volkswagen Audi Group cars. In 2003 it was replaced by slightly higher powered versions such as the AUM.
