Hi
Really hoping someone can point me in the right direction, there is a large hole appeared in the bottom end of the engine of my beloved 2000 W reg A4 1.8T QUATTRO Its knack,d !!! (150BHP, AJL ENGINE CODE) Gutted!!!!!! Ihave tried everywhere to find a second hand engine and to no avail??? However the mechanic has given me a glimmer of hope, saying it may be possible to fit a bottom end from another model of 1.8? as all the top end bits seem fine?? he says it may be possible to make one from two, if that makes sense? He told me to look into it, therfor is this possible? if so what models or engine types should i look for?? Desperate for any advise!!!!

Thanks
