All as I said in my previous post.

Thanks Doylebros

Am I being stupid as my Engine was obviously made in 2007 but the new one I presume would be this year engine off the factory line so would it be the exact same engine code and parts or would be a 2013 version of mine with probably slighter new technology.

Call me stupid if the above makes no sense 

[doylebros]

No your thoughts are correct - no worries there!

Depending on your chassis number they've got two other items to take into consideration but that's there problem!

[irish_ram]

Okay cheers,

So basically in the most part I will be getting the same as my old engine only newer and shinier 

[doylebros]

That's it you lucky boy!

[irish_ram]

I wont count my chickens until I get it back and have driven it 

If I take away the fact it broke down after 3 months and I am going to be £700 pound lighter I am actually for some reason getting excited to have her back on Thursday 

[doylebros]

It will certainly put plenty money on the motor so that wound make me happy - enjoy.

Right I am beginning to think I was only dreaming that I bought a MK5 Golf 3 months ago.

Rang them on Thursday and was not ready, phone call yesterday and new engine all fitted and working however they advised they have now discovered what the root cause which caused the engine piston/valve issue I had.

Apparently they found the regulator on the fuel pump was faulty so they have ordered this yesterday to arrive this morning and fit it. Not sure if this is correct what they are telling me but the part cost £200 and they are paying for it so left them to it. I am due to ring them in about 30 minutes to ask when it is ready so hopefully will be driving again later today. Just trying to think of somewhere to go to give her a good welcome back 

If it wasn't the fact I forked out £700 yesterday to them for the new engine I would be convinced I did dream having this car in the first place

Good luck for later today.
I would take things easy for first 1500 miles, ie keep revs below 3000 and don't labour it in low gear etc...

[irish_ram]

Cheers Paulw123,

I think for the 1st week I will be taking it easy to be honest. A few easy trips to work and back next week before Christmas break up should be good to ease her back in to my life 

I feel like a kid waiting for their Christmas present but will be gutted if told I cannot have it back today.

Right more bad news it seems,

Garage have rang back and advised they have replaced the regulator but the issue is worse and they think it needs software update. He is saying however it is asking for a security code or something which they are unsure of and need VW advice and cannot do anything until Monday.

Anyone heard of this or can advise please

[irish_ram]

Sorry to be chasing on this as you have all been very helpful but has anyone got any advice on this as the Garage likely closes in a couple of hours but this sounds like they know what they need to do but just need the Security code. I presume they are doing this via VAG software and getting this prompt when going into whatever option it is to update the software.

[irish_ram]

Well Dealer has phoned the Garage and they advise me it will have to be taken to a VW dealer on Monday to perform this Software Update I presume.

Is this because it is a Security thing and only VW dealers have the codes or software to access these options?

Pretty annoyed not that I am not going to get the car until Monday although that is dependent they do not hit other problems 

[paulw123]

Well I didn't want to pour pessimism all over your excitement, but I thought fitting a new engine would be tricky somewhere, with the ecu & stuff.
I would feel happier with a vw dealer taking responsibility for setting the car up properly.
They might fill in your service book saying a new engine was fitted? which would be great when you come to sell it...
Do you need to get the engine number changed on DVLA owners doc?

I think you need to try and relax, and let them take the time to set the car up properly
