Afternoon!

 

finally had bad luck with my Bohemia Estate, 1.9 PD100 AXR. Turbo failed and hydrolocked the engine after a very short low rev runaway, at 236,000miles.  I don’t have the funds for a new car so we went for a rebuild, drained it down and bought a new turbo. Many thanks to my Dad who has rebuilt it over the last few days, it’s running but very rough.  Plan is to strip it and see what issue we have, but if it comes to it we might take on an engine change, so I had a few questions..

 

Could a VRS TDI fit? (BLT?) 

Are ATD/AXR interchangeable?

does anything else fit, and what issues am I likely to have? 
 

open to any tips, but buying another car isn’t really an option for me at the moment.! 

Yes, yes and yes, other PD engines from the VAG range will also fit.

 

No issues at all.

Thanks! Dropped in a 64k BSW engine with a brand new Mahle turbo, results are very good so far!  Feels a lot better than when I bought it, probably because all the moving parts have been replaced since.  Triggers Fabia.
