Thankyou very much. Will do.
Whilst Im at it, Id need to check if my current flywheel & clutch are the same too?
My B6 A4 I believe got the newer type 1.9 engines that went into the B7s. My engine code is BKE - I know for sure there were BKE engines used in the B7s.
Hello guys,
Im (un)lucky enough to own an 04 Avant which needs a new engine & turbo. Its a Nov 04 1.9 TDI 115 PD. Engine code BKE. Quite rare.
The BKE was used in A4 B7s right up to round 07 iirc. Would an 07 BKE drop right into my 04 Avant, theoretically?
Hi guys
Just wondering if anyone would know what 1.9 TDI engine would be the same/similar to a BKE?
My BKE is from a Nov 04 Avant. Need a new engine. But as BKE's seem to be quite rare, what else would fit?
Thanks so much for any help.
Thanks for the replies..
First mechanic flushed the heater matrix & "checked" water pump. He concluded it needed a new water pump, as it aparently wasnt working at all.
On the journey back returning the car to me, is when all the damage happened.
I refused to let him near the car again, as I...
Now since my last post on here, users on other forums have told me the intercooler would've caught any foreign objects from reaching the engine?!
Hes done a compression test, and said 3 of the 4 cylinders arent working?
Been to see the car today. The turbo was halved! Basically blown apart. Mechanic claims thats where the oil is from. So a new turbo is undoubtedly on the list when I visit my bank manager - possibly a new engine. Mechanic said hes doing a compression test on it and will flush intercooler/air...
Mechanic explained that about the air not getting to engine. Im hoping thats the problem :(
Im based in Derry, N.Ireland. They guy that has the car at the minute claims to be VAG specialist. Im hoping hes right and one of the feeds are blocked. Will know more tomoro!
OK, so my new mechanic has called me today.
He's diagnosed its a blown turbo. Thus restricting air to the engine = it wont start. He said hes never seen a turbo in such bad shape.
Normally when a turbo is on its way out, it whistles right? I didnt have that?
So has my first mechanic been...
Ive ruled out he smacked the sump - simply because he'd obviously be immediately liable, own up, get it fixed. Case closed.
If hes blew a piston, its easier to wash his hands of it surely? Say its been on its way out anyway?
Im so angry. Ive owned this car 3 months. Its incredibly...
It has been remapped yes. Apparently by previous owner.
Im not sure if its chucked a piston. When trying the ignition I cant hear any banging or knocking etc.
Its with another mechanic today, Im hoping he gets a look at it and Ill respond with progress.
Thanks to all responses so far. Im...
So hopefully it can be fixed without any major repair work, IE a engine replacement?
I most defintely dont drive the car hard/harsh. If he was, would a few miles of thrashing do severe damage?
I stated I wanted a second opinion, and I didnt let him tow the car away to his garage again. I fear...
Last night my mechanic picked up my '04 1.9TDI B6 A4. Ive been having problems with the heating system. IE: only getting warm air when car is moving/engine is in motion, then cold air when car is idle. Temperate guage never moves past 90 by the way. So anyways, lastnight he's diagnosed the water...
