I have a good set of cams, genuine lifters, rocker arms and thrust pads. I can rebuild your engine for a good engine as well. Give me a ring on 077 899 12128 to discuss...

I can rebuild your engine for a decent price. I have a good set of cams, full set of genuine lifters, rocker arms and trust pads. Give me a ring on 077 899 12128 to discuss... Regards,

Thanks for the offer but the turbo had blown and he lost all oil,judging by state of cams the crank may also be u/s.So probs cheaper going for engine change.Do you know if the engine I can get will go in? thanks Ian

It will bolt on but a lot of bits will need swapping of the old one and fitted to the new one... Cams wear much faster as the crank due to the Longlife servicing (which should be called as Shortlife) but there is the possibility of bent rods if the turbo seals have gone and engine ran on it's own oil... I would take the sump off and check the rods before condemning the engine...I am replacing the engine on a a6 auto which had a messed up cambelt job (mark and pray job !), cyl. 5 and 6 dropped valves and 4 looks like it ingested something as its scored, did not took the other head off as the valves look ok. The cams were very badly worn and a few lifters were in pieces that's why i bought the parts but it looks like new engine time...i have the engine but not enough time ! I might have a engine going spare soon off my allroad though, how soon do you need it ?

How much for the cams? thanks

Still need an engine!! will an engine out of a 2001 a6 go in this 02 a4? any help would be greatly appreciated,thanks

[adamss24]

Thechnically it will but it needs to be opened up. The CR might be higher on the a6 than the a4 and many parts need swapping from the other engine. I have built hybrids in the past and there are differences between the engines/pumps/ECU's and EGR/oil coolers,etc. Is there any chance you could recover the car to N. London ? I could supply and fit a v6 tdi engine for you for about £1000 all in. Do you intend to keep the car or sell ? I have a trailer i could pick your car on but Darlington is 244 miles away so i will burn more than 1 full tank of fuel and waste a whole day for the trip...

Thanks for info.Ive got an idea,would you fancy coming up here and fitting the engine in my garage.I have all the equipment needed and i can even sort digs out for you.I can cover your expenses as this will be a lot easier than trailoring the car down to you.Let me know what you think? Thanks Ian
