I find it difficult to understand why getting a 2nd-hand engine is so difficult. That engine is used across the VAG range, including the Audi TT, Skoda Octavia VRS amongst others, unless the issue is that the engines keep blowing up, which I don't believe is the case.
Fair play to you, I knew as soon as I typed my response there was something wrong, but I couldn't figure out what.The engine in the audi is mounted longitudinally ...
The engine in the audi is mounted longitudinally compared to the likes of the golf/tt and so on.
The reason these engines are hard to come by is because they are prone to failure due to oil starvation. The sump is very small in them and if oil changes are not done very regularly with fully synthetic oil the oil pick up pipe becomes gummed up with sludge and leads to low oil pressure and failure.
This is exactly how mechanics have explained the problem to me.
Is it possible to stick any other engine into this car besides the original (Engine code BFB)?
If I do that what are the consequences for re-sale / do I need to get the car re-registered or anything else I should know.
Would it be impossible to resell with a different engine???
Thanks
What damage is done to your original engine?
Is the turbo gone?
You would need everything from your original engine except the bare head and block swapped over. Manifolds, turbo, breathers, oil filter housing, sump, oil pump pickup etc are all different.
So another BFB engine would realistically be required, otherwise too much labour needed?
Don't know if the turbo is gone, Audi dealer have simply told me engine is completely gone and a whole new one required.
Any ideas how to recover the maximum value from the car?
When they say a new engine the prob mean a short engine, which is block and head.
I'll give you 1000 euro for the car if you want a quick sale
