I was surprised how easy it was and how quick we done it, the engine was on the floor in a hour and half but once the front is off and inlet manifold there is loads of room around the engine , and yes that's the only difference I could spot but lucky we managed to find the different plugs for...

Well managed to find a engine for under £1000 with engine code bub out of a r32 with 40k on the clock so yesterday we pulled the engine I had to swap the sump due to the new engine having a cracked sump and was pleased to see its mint inside all was going well till we noticed the plugs were...

It does not look like impact damage as the lower cover looks perfect I'm not sure if someone has over tightened it when it was serviced but it's got no history with it so who knows but yer hopefully it needs a bit of work on the outside, wheels need a refurb but it should be nice once it's...

well new battery fitted as the old was was dead, and still wont turn over, after taking the lower cover off the oil filter housing has cracked, removed sump plug and no oil came out, crank is seized solid so its back on the case for a engine oh well, i can get one for £1150 with 3 months...

The battery was flat when I tries yesterday but its on charge so will be turning the key shortly there are no holes in the engine that I can see which is a good sign but there is no oil showing on the dip stick which is not so good

Yer I won't do the vvt's but I don't fancy fitting the engine to find problems with the chains, I will get it up in the air tomorrow and try and work out why they say it needs a engine

I think I will keep it for a while till I get bored as its a nice looking car, and should go well enough

I've been offered one for £1200 I've offered 1k cause you never know your luck and it seems like chain issues are standard so I'm thinking replace these while I got the engine out then hopefully it will be running within a few weeks

Ive been a mechanic for 15 years I've rebuilt a 12v vr6 engine with a snapped chain but not the 24v vr6 but I don't mind getting involved, I'm thinking cost wise if I can pick a engine up for 1k I will do that but 1600-2000 is a joke for a 10 year old car engine and would be pushing the limit to...

To be honest I'm not sure what has happened to the engine I have brought it blind and just been told needs a engine, I'm assuming its slung a rod, bottom end gone or chain snapped first 2 I don't think cost wise would be worth repairing snapped chain may be cheaper to repair, it's been recovered...

As above I need to find a engine for my a3 with the code BDB but I've seen a few 3.2 engines with different codes,does anyone know if any other engine codes will fit, as the couple I have found with the right code people are asking nearly 2k for a second hand engine

Just thought I'd say hello I've just sold my current s4 due to loosing interest in it and I'm in the process of buying a a3 1.8t Quattro with some big plans for next year I've found one which needs a bit of engine work so is a good base to start i built my s4 up from standard to approx 450hp it...
