So my oil pump went bang and destroyed the bearings, crank and burnt the cam shaft but my turbo survived sadly and rightly pissed of I need a new engine now. I have a quote from vw for 2800 for a brand new engine with two years warrenty which I really can't afford does anyone know of any places what sell 2tfsi engine with warrenty and if I got a brand new engine how would my service book come would it be a new one, would my mileage stay the same on my dash, what would warrenty cover just main bits in the engine. Well and truley pissed off on a 2007 49000 miles serviced every year and cam belt done last year and one owner gggrrr :fighting:

And just like to point out before people say the car shook and vibrate and I switched the car off straight away before any lights on the dash appeared and when garaged looked at it the oil pressure light appeared

2nd hand engine is about 1k

There was a company advertising on ebay, they rebuild and test engines and offer warranty.
Cant remember the name of them though

Have a look on various VAG forums. U might come across an edition 30/S3/CR engine for reasonable price. Cheaper than 2800 I'd imagine. Always look at the bright side of a situation :happy2: more power :driver:

I found this on the net. Anybody have any idea if it's true or necessary??

"This happened to my brother's engine this week. He has a 2005 Mark V Golf GTI. The problem is a fault with ALL Mark V engines. There's a gauze filter in the oil pickup pipe going from the bottom of the engine to the oil pump that gets completely blocked up. Even if you're Golf is not showing this fault at present, it may be starving the turbo of oil anyway (if you have one).
Solution: Drain oil from engine (remove bung in sump), before you remove sump, there's 3 bolts that go through the gearbox housing into the sump. Remove these. Remove sump (Allen key). There's no gasket between sump and engine. Rub old sealant off rim. You will be able to see right up into the engine at this point. There is a small pipe going from the oil pump into where the sump was. This pipe is normally sitting in the oil and it sucks up oil from the sump into the oil pump when the engine is started. The pipe is fixed to the oil pump with one Allen-key head screw and a rubber O-ring. Remove this and take off the pipe. The gauze filter is at the end of the pipe. Try and get a replacement from a motor-factor. Alternatively, you can clean it out well using petrol. Clean the sump well with petrol."

Sorry to hear about that pal, cars just seem to bring never ending costs! I hope it get it sorted as soon as possible.
Is this something that other owners need to worry / look into as obviously it can be very expensive to sort out for one that has always maintained there car to the best of their knowledge.

It would cost you less than that for one of the forums independent specialists to put you a low mileage replacement engine in :smiley:
