BKC are even rarer to throw a rod but not immune .
Don't say that!! :O

Just ask Phil , he calls it rod porn , lol .
Just change the big end upper bearings and frequent oil changes .
Dunno , I have a reliable older 1.9 PD .
What an ***! Lmao I would have loved the pd130 in the a3 8p :/
What we really need in the 8P is a 3.0tdi bi-turbo
That would go very nicely, if you could fit it in.
No problem bud, blunt is not blunt, it's honest and that's what I want
So guys if the value of this car is less than £2,000 and others are indeed available for less than £1500, then we should reconsider and buy a donor for an engine instead?
Phil is the BKC engine you suggested a straight swap into this model?
Rod Porn haha ive got a phone full of it lol
6 hrs to take one out, swap all the bits over and refit, ive done that many now lol
Can you fit a tea break in there Phil? That's good going mate, would take me 6 days.

But ideally on a 2nd hand engine renew upper bearings and ultimately renew rods with better ones as your pic Phil.
How much extra is bearings and rods ?
Gazwould - you have just removed all traces of Audi AND VW from my bloodstream!BKC are even rarer to throw a rod but not immune .

And from that of all my successors until Armageddon, Apocalypse, End of Days, The Earth Stood Still, The Fat Lady Sang Already, and beyond!
Brrrrr!!!! Creeeepy!!
We'll be sticking to Ford, Jaguar, Merc Toyota, Nissan, and Mazda from now on! Maybe Alfa Romeo isn't so bad after this?!!
Phil - Thanks for your guidance, which engine would you prefer, (or which is the most common), and from what cars?, as I would follow your advice to renew the conrods and bearings etc before installing?
For a side-chat while we're jovially gathered here together chewing over my problem, to some plan of action...
My S Type 2.5-litre V6 produces 200bhp flat. The 3.0-litre produces another 25 bhp I think, the standard 4.2-litre V8 without Turbo produces 300bhp.
How on earth did anyone get 300bhp out of a 1.9TDi??? Was that in an A3?
Thanks Phil. I'll see what I can find.Ok as you will have the rods and bigends replaced a BXE wont be a problem, and that can come from A3 8P mk5 Golf, B6 Passat, Seat Leon, Skoda Octavia, mileage isnt a worry as the rebuild will make it as good (actually better) than new
Thanks Phil. I'll see what I can find.
Can you drop me a message with approximate cost of the whole refurb and engine change please?
Oooooo...Haha, ok, to get 300bhp from a 1.9, you would need a Hybrid turbo (Xman £800) a perion intercooler or S3 cooler (all alloy) as a min, the major problem will be fueling, ARL injectors will never flow enough to feed 300bhp, darkside can supply the injectors but there not cheap, then you will need a clutch and flywheel combo to handle the torque

Wasn't that the pd130 that reached 300bhp or was that the 105?
Ive heard of a few 105 mk5 golfs running 280-300 figures, my first thought was always what its like as a daily
TBH 200bhp from a 105 is a very quick car and is very easy to reach that figure as ARL injectors will flow that, only Hybrid needed and decent boost hoses
I agree Phil, super tuned engines aren't often friendly.Ive heard of a few 105 mk5 golfs running 280-300 figures, my first thought was always what its like as a daily

The 300bhp 1.9 car I'm thinking of is in a Skoda Fabia, is actually a PD100bhp version. Yes it does have a big turbo and other parts that Phil describes.
Hi Phil, were you going to message me? Easter got in the way and I didn't follow up.Not a problem, i will get exact prices in the morning and then message you

Thanks.
Aye, I agree. The chap seemed to know what he's about with it.Good job you sold it, however buying 2nd hand engines is pot luck, you can spend a whole week trying to fix a duff engine or you can strike lucky and get a good one first time !
