Run the big ends!!
« on: April 25, 2016, 09:53:37 pm »
So today after getting my timing belt fixed for the second time and finally getting my map sorted the STOP ENGINE light came on when I turned it off and done all the checked oil and stuff I rested it and the big ends are f*cked ! 100% rattling ! Wat would course the big ends to fail ? Besides no oil ? Because there was plenty in the sump

Well if the big end is rattling it's the shell bearings most likely. Not good :-(

my guess is oil starvation from a blocked pickup

Oil starvation. Either th  pickup or the oil pump itself.

You will need a whole engine. The swarf will have travelled through to the head and fooked it. Turbo bearings may be shot too.

Managed to source a BWA engine but is it a straight swap and will it run an AXX ecu ?

Yeo you can combine axx and bwa engines. Your ecu will also be fine. Have a look threw my posts I have already done it myself. I used a bwa bottom end and axx head.

I paid 900 for full engine and gearbox with all the stuff still on it happy days so is the BWA engine any better or will these go bang as well ?
