Anyone have any idea how much a engnie rebuild would be for an Audi A3 1.8 T ?

or is it worth just getting rid :confused:

should be able to pick one up for approx £500 minus turbo.

depends what you need, if you only need bare engine without ancillaries, then you could find one for a lot less
 
Apparently.... the garage it’s been at said that the oil pump hasn’t been functioning properly. And I've had the beast down VW/AUDI on the computer prior to the oil pump issues. And it had a air leak... that got fixed, and they reckon since the pressure within the engine has got back to what its ment to be its made the oil pump pull a load of junk through into the engine the geezer reckons it needs a top end rebuild... cam bearings etc all burnt out as far as I know the turbo is fine.. im getting the final verdict on it today. As he’s basically gonna strip it all down and see what is actually needed.. 500squids isn't a bad price for a engine.
 
Try ringing Vasstech in Northallerton. A recently opened VAG specialist. Very good mechanics. A mate of mine is one of the owners.

Its in the Garage.... been there since it more or less died lol so im running about in my golf mk1 lol

ill make a few calls when i get a chance stuck at work at the moe :(
 
doesnt sound like it has

but to be fair, audi AVS servicing is terrible, worst thing ever for an engine. i spent ages trying to get an S4 that was a facelift car that wasnt on AVS
 
At an Audi garage it was about £4k for a full rebuild on a na 1.8 with a new head and block. I only found out about the cost after my parents had had it done. This was also from a failed oil pump. Full Audi SH btw and they made no contribution.

You what?

I could get my RS4 engine rebuilt with new cams and probably new turbos for that money!

They certainly got done over by Audi on that one!
 
FWIW, I paid £1100 for a BAM 225PS 1.8T 18~ months ago. That included ancillaries and turbo.

I certainly didn't find it an effort to kill one.

I imagine they were walking a little funny for a few days after that

I cant see how that works, if the oil pump doesnt work it would lead to oil starvation, your turbocharger would be the first to blow.

Sounds more like a dodgy oil filter to me ?

Have it checked by someone reputable such as awesome gti
