Smac01 12 Report post Posted January 22, 2015 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smac01 12 Report post Posted January 22, 2015 Skipped chain I think, lost compression. Best case = bent valves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B.M.W Ltd 950 Report post Posted February 4, 2015 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smac01 12 Report post Posted February 4, 2015 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).

Smac01 12 Report post Posted February 4, 2015 The best case was bent valves, but more likely pistons etc. The engine had lost compression. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smac01 12 Report post Posted February 4, 2015 That would have got the car going again.... It didn't deserve that kind of attention! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jom 98 Report post Posted February 5, 2015 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.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
