Had a an earlier post on my audi S3 engine making a tapping noise. The mechanic i had take a look at it seams to 99% sure its bottom end damge and bearing damage and gave me advice in buying a reconditioned engine and to install that with my turbo, etc and new cambelt water pump etc, he said he will fit and supply one for £1700.
He said if he or any other specilaist strips my engine down then ill be paying hundreds of pounds forlabour to be told to get a reconditioned one, or to have the car in biits for a week.
Does this sound about right? And if so is this an ideal opportunity to buy some more power through tuned engines through backdraft motorsport?
Bear in mind i have never really tinkered with engine internals so i only know the basics, opinions much appreciated
Cheers
