its fair to say we are very bored idiots
I imagine it's a head off job to do the rods?
I think Bill removed my head and sump to do mine.
Well I think I've got you beat!
Picked up my new S3 last thursday at 17:30, after hunting high and low for 6 months to find the spec I wanted with low miles.
Absolutely loved it, loads of horses and handles beautifully, everything my last S3 lacked.
5 hours later it dropped a con rod down the motorway at 4000 revs!
It had a Backdraft motorsport 330hp conversion carried out about 11000 miles ago, without the con rod upgrade, so that would be my guess.
Dropped the car back to them this morning, and will know more once they've got it apart.
A 330 conversion without uprating the rods...... madness
