What happened? Did the oil can light come on ( oil pressure symbol ) and it was turned off or was it driven till it stopped?

I was driving at slow speed on a main road when the engine started making a strange noise, I slowed down and the oil pressure light came on. I put the car in neutral and rolled to a place I could stop and the engine stopped

At the garage being examined, the car was an 05 plate with only 51k miles on the clock

Don't think VW will be helping me with this !

Andy a 2007 - 2008 BWA K04 motor will slot straight in the ecu will run it ok but it will be all wrong on the mapping side
You would need a K03 to K04 map loading on etc
The injector loom is different on a real early AXX car so you would have to use your old injector loom, it separates from the main engine loom
I have K03 motors in stock if your interested in just a normal engine fitting back in etc

Am I misreading this? I thought he wanted a BWA engine which has a K03 from the factory.

Oops Sorry didn't read right, I have AXX & BWA & BYD's in stock, been working on a BYD all week too  :scared:

All K03 motors will fit straight in and run ok, whichever code you use, no mapping needed, only K04's would need mapping to suite

More info:- When I first got the car I noticed that on tickover it sounded like a diesel, so I have it looked at by VW. They said they all sound like that.

I am now thinking that perhapes my oil pump has been on its way out for a while now...

Sticking with K03, even at my age I think the insurance would be stupid

Only good thing that has come out of this is that I will get my AXX engine replaced with the better BWA engine

Statller's are very busy , they can not work on the car for a week, but it can not stay at the garage in MK as they need the space
