(1/5) > >>

TDi90:
what parts will i need?
how long will it take?
any tips?
any special tools?

my aim is to have a 200tdi that has done effectively 0 miles.  :drool:

thanks everyone!

Guardian.:
you cannot, because you will have to re  use the actual block, and make sure you get it tested thoroughly by someone who knows what they are doing, dont have it done bye the moron that did mine!
other than that buy new everything, but its cheaper to buy a brand new engine that has done 0 miles, unles of course you build a shltpart parts engine then it will only ever do 0 miles before it knackered.
cranks are megga bucks for a 'brand new' one.
just buy a recon from a reputable source like turners or something, you then get piece of mind that bis worth ten times more than the few quid you save.

Tommo:
nothing wrong with having your crank re ground. not sure how much genuine oversize pistons and rings are though.

I think that cheapo pistions are £40 ish each, the real McCoy are nearer £80 each.
