Looking for a VW 1.4TSI engine

Recommended Posts

I know this is unlikely... But does anyone know of a spare 1.4 TSI twin charged VW engine for sale? It's the BLG engine.

Long story, as well as a long shot.

Cheers guys

Give Rob at Euroline a call. Under the Parts Connection umbrella. That's where I got the last one for a clients car and our old Polo courtesy car

Simon... you'll be very lucky to get / buy a second hand hand grenade. Qualitat can do the repair for approx $3,000 with their new chain kits. Depends on the damage. More damage is created while driving as against failure on start up.

Agree Glenn - I've sold it to someone with the skills to rebuild the engine themselves. Wasn't worth going down the path of a second hand engine to risk it again. Sometimes you just take it as a learning and move on (and away from VW).

The best case was bent valves, but more likely pistons etc. The engine had lost compression.

That would have got the car going again.... It didn't deserve that kind of attention!

And with ALL the 4 cylinder VW/Audi/Skoda engines - Check the high pressure fuel pump cam bucket every oil service unless you want a $1500 (or more) experience.

God knows why they perpetuate a bad design, or maybe the bean counters do....
