Yeah , it had a 28k secondhand engine fitted in nov , sadly a couple of months out of warranty , just my luck . thanks for the replies .

Thanks for the reply bigjohn , yeah i tried to keep it to a minimum say 1.5 miles i was on the motorway with my 2 kids onboard and no hard shoulder so had to limp into services , i got the car back after having recon turbo fitted , sump / pick up cleaned etc but it now sounds like i have rod knock .

Hello , my skoda 1.6 diesel was due for a mot as i don't do many miles i took it for a run to warm up it prior to test , around 20 miles later low oil pressure light came on with a noise attached pulled into services and checked oil , level was fine , towed to garage , garage said it was turbo so got a recon turbo fitted , garage took sump off and cleaned pick up pipe , unfortunately there was shavings in sump , garage is saying maybe crankshaft bearings but i have just forked out almost £3k now , see attached photo , any ideas .

Thanks for your reply , i have bought a second hand engine from a salvage yard for £1.050 with 30k miles , they sent me a video of it running prior to removal .

Hi guys , my timing belt has gone on my 1.6tdi 2014 , its looking like a re-con engine or re-build just wondered if anyone had a rough idea of the cost , many thanks .
