Wackojacko Posted September 19, 2019 Posted September 19, 2019 Hi all i'm a newbie here, i have a 2 litre fsi turbo lump, and a few months ago i heard a horrible squeal and then the engine died. The squeal sounded like fan belt but deeper and nastier! I suspected my water pump seized which subsequently has caused my timing belt to strip teeth. Now im a bit stuck of how to go about repairing it. since it's a high mileage car and i'm capable of doing certain work on my own i like to give it a top end rebuild. does anybody have any advice please on either where to get a reasonably priced rebuild kit, or if anybody's got any advice on what they think i should do bearing in mind i don't want to throw thousands of pounds at it! Lol. Honey advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance guys!
Cleophas Posted October 26, 2019 Posted October 26, 2019 could one of a number of things. These engine are known for the pump going. So the first think I would recommend checking is the oil pump. That engine will need to be opened up. Those engines are good but the oil pump is rubbish and I would recommend changing the piston heads. Some food for thought. Regards, C
