The other question is whether I would need to find an engine that was also in a DSG or whether I could buy an engine that has been in a manual car. Ive been give the following engine code and part number by some ebay sellers: Part number - 04L 100 033 C Engine code - CRLB, who havent got any in stock at present.

Just looking for some advice please. A local garage has suggested that unfortunately I require an engine replacement. The timing chain has slipped causing damage to the engine. The mechanic said there is knocking at top and bottom end and that the engine was dry- albeit no warning lights were on and id previously topped the oil up when a light came on. They've suggested that I try and source a reconditioned engine and they would do the work. Im weighing up the options now as the car has done 165k. Only worth 5k as a trade in, but likely to cost 3-4k for parts and labour. Are there any recommendations for suppliers of reconditioned engines, perhaps who do the work or supply? Is it worth getting a second opinion from Skoda approved garage, albeit the garage that have looked at it has done work on the car previously and have always been helpful? Not being mechanically minded, not sure if these is a very easy one to diagnose. They did put me off spending 10 hours stripping the engine down to which they suggested may be a waste of money , which seems to show they are giving me reasonable cost effective advice. Welcome any advice.

Update, car is ready for collection. Faulty crankshaft sensor.

Thanks all, back at the garage to do further fault testing, will let everyone know the result.

My skoda superb automatic diesel has been experiencing a braking/ juddering intermittently, displaying the attached faults. In most cases the faults clear after restarting engine. Work undertaken so far includes glow plugs, pressure sensor, new tyre...advised by skoda that tyre was causing speed sensor issue, new battery, timing belt and coolant pump and G28 sensor. Car collected after recent work, failed the same evening with identical faults. Once faults are in place the car doesn't change up in 3rd unless you ease off accelerator. Whilst car appears to brake or judder on off, the throttle needle can been seen jumping up and down slightly. Has anyone experienced anything similar or have a solution as skoda haven't yet come up with a solution?
