Colour: NA

Mileage: NA
 

Price: £1000
 

Description: Completely rebuilt BWA Engine - block and head - equivalent to a new engine straight from the factory!

Whilst this was meant to be a personal project to build an uprated spare engine for my vRS MK2 with upgraded internals, new personal circumstances made me decide to part with my beloved Octy (also listed on Briskoda) and rebuild this engine to factory spec for a VAG enthusiast to enjoy in their car. Built to manufacturer specifications using the VAG workshop manual, by a highly qualified and skilled VAG enthusiast mechanic who has worked on these engines in the past, all seals, gaskets, bearings and bolts (in line with workshop manual indications) were replaced  and torqued to manufacturer spec and requirements. As can be seen in pics no expense has been spared and it had new crankshaft and camshaft bearings, new piston seals, a complete new timing kit done (both belt and chain side with new VVT, new heavy duty full metal water pump). The engine head has been sent out for cleaning, checking and resurfacing and benefitted from a complete overhaul with new valves, rockers and seals prior to rebuild. During the rebuild the engine also had the oil pump fitted (active balancers, new seal and chain) and oil sump (version without sump sensor but can provide the one accommodating the sensor as well if desired, for free). First pics are of the completed rebuild, followed by the seals and gaskets that will come with it (for ancillaries) and more pics of rebuild in stages as well as new kits and parts used. I can offer ancillaries as well for free, for the buyer to fit - I have all parts needed for a complete engine, apart from radiators and ECU, including complete engine electrical harness, pipes and hoses, and a fully working 6 speed manual gearbox (82K miles).

 

Warranty offered with asking price, conditioned upon:

The engine being installed by a certified mechanic in a garage, have it running for 3-4 hours at idle after install, then replacing the oil and oil filter prior to use and having an oil service at 500 miles after install. With all new parts, the engine needs to be run in first without abuse, as any decent mechanic would advise you.
 

Condition: As New!!

Service History/Receipts/Recent Service work: Receipts can be provided for parts used in the rebuild.

Extras: Can offer all ancillaries for complete engine - for buyer to fit. Can provide the engine mounts as well. 
 

Shipping: Considered if buyer supports shipping costs and pays for engine beforehand. Can arrange to deliver myself for extra charges within 200 miles radius from Bolton / Manchester after a £200 deposit received.
 

Collection: Yes, from BL6 - near Middlebrook Retail Park / Bolton Stadium.

Rings, ends and main bearings on a worn crankshaft, worn bores, cams and pistons is not as new and equivalent to straight from the factory.

 

 Old oil pump re-used 🙄

The above seems to be a contradiction in terms.

 

Granted I doubt the bores were excessively worn but should at least have been honed, crankshaft almost certainly within limits, pistons? with the above contradiction I wonder if you would have the knowledge or equipment to make the required measurements.

Prior, as in you sent it out to be done or the work had supposedly already been done to the engine?

 

I'm sure the engine will be fine, I expect I would have retained the crank and pistons but I certainly would not be making claims like the above especially the first two and I would be stating what mileage the core unit had done and having some documentation to prove it or saying mileage unknown.
