Engine has a big turbo fitted, different injectors etc.. They would just laugh at me I think, could be worth a go I guess..

Is trying to get hold of standard parts not a option and down right lieing to them about the vehilces past. Then sell the parts on after it might cost you a couple of hundred in depreciation on the parts but a hell of a lot cheaper in the long run.
I'm sure you know enought people in the trade to get a few favours.

sorry to hear that jonny. not good news at all. surely that must have been a heat issue due to lack of oil maybe?

Well put it this way, I drove the car home 60miles and its melted a piston.. I was in torrential rain all the way back taking it very steady.. So its not me, the car was probably already goosed.. But proving that is going to be the problem
Vag com showed 3 coolant temp warnings, personally, I think its either got very hot, and then been topped up with water and quickly sold on, or ran with hardly any oil in it, topped up and nothing has been said..
MAT ED30:
that sounds about it to me mate :sad1: have u had a chat with the old owner?
