mk5 golf gti in need of an axx engine
« on: November 21, 2014, 01:10:45 pm »
Hi Guys just wondering if someone could help me I purchased my 2005 mk5 golf gti from a trader (lesson learnt) last month. last week the cambelt snapped I am now in need of an engine as the garage I have sent it to said the engine is basically finished. I decided to sign up to this Gti forum to see if any one could help me source an axx engine. my number is 07858333374 any help would be mostly appreciated.

Sorry to hear that. Can't you take it up with the trader ? Every trader is supposed to warrant their cars for 3 months for major issues.
There is a forum member selling a S3 mk2 engine, lots of potential with that  :happy2:

Go for a CDL or BYD / BHZ lump - more power & stronger internals. May as well build it better as there is very little difference in price between these on the used market  :happy2:

when you need engine?

I have a S3 one.

better engine,stronger,internals = more ponies and tq

AXX is quite weak so if you want another GTI engine I would get BWA as minimum

You'll need the ecu from the corresponding engine. Or get it coded for the different hardware. Turbo and injectors as a minimum, CDL has a different inlet camshaft as well and is the pick of the bunch with better con rods and stronger block. You'll want to remap it anyway .. whether it's the AXX, BWA, BYD or CDL.
