    Unhappy My DSG is fooked !!

    Hi guys,

    don't know if any of you have been following the thread on the other forum but the big ends have gone after only 34k miles !! Just bad luck I'm told

    Anyway, there is no use bleating about it...if anyone knows anything/anyone who could be of assistance to me in getting it sorted out I would be very obliged.

    Thanks in advance..(if any of you are still out there ??)

    Russ

    Rich,

    The 11 sec engine was meant to be top secret.....LOL

    If Danny cant help then I doubt anyone can. Especially if you want it to 'breathe' easier

    Got the old fella back yesterday.....can't recommend the guy that did the work for me highly enough (LATIMER MOTORS in EASTBOURNE). The £1200 he charged me for the work was a result compared to some of the quotes I was getting for crate engines etc elsewhere.
    Running it back in now for 500 miles or so, but hopefully wont be too long before the neighbours get to hear the whine from the s/c again!!

    You shouldn't put mince meat pie in your engine....maybe that's why it blew.
