Actually the longitudinal (A4) block is quite different than the transverse (TT)
block.
For example, the water pump is built into the block on the TT, where it is external on the A4. There are other fundamental differences also. One of the reasons behind our increased power rating 170 vs 180 is because of the way the engine is placed.

Yes... stronger block and internals
I believe that the rods are an area of significant improment between the two engines. The 180s have powdered metal... ours are from a 2.0 16v
Cyl 3 is more reinforced, and the block is strenghtened similar to a girdle. We have forged Mahle pistons, and the skirts are coated.
