Hi All,
Can anyone please advise on the level of damage a cylinder bore can sustain before unacceptable performance loss would be noticed. The timing belt failed on my Golf 1.9 2001 diesel engine (AQM) and while the head at number 4 cylinder and the piston are trashed there is remarkably little damage to the bore. However, there are 3 score lines down the bore length and I’d welcome any comments on the depth of score could be considered acceptable.
Any sensible comments and views welcome. Can anyone recommend a company to get a recon engine and suggestion of what price I should expect to pay?
Many thanks
