I'm with tuftee on this one. Problem is the cost of a decent replacement.

is it the 200 or 300 that has died???

i say rebuild it as if its only the cam thats scrap u will need a new cam,8 pushrods,maybe 8 rockers,a head gasket ,timing belt & a bit of time to do the job,

did my mates one over a wknd,2 hours for the head off,strip front cover,remove the pulleys etc,remove broken cam ,its not really a hard job considering u will pay over 1k for a tdi

True enough - best bet is to rip off the head and see what the damage is!

Ok Mikey £100 for the old one, just got the camshaft out ,YOU did mean the camshaft,are you sure its worth coming all the way down for a knackered camshaft..................................no only joking ,stripped the old gell down ,just push rods and camshaft so not too bad, you know how it is, you get a little pisssssd orf when these things happen , I can see an upgrade happening in the near future, its just the thought of swapping everything over........................cheers Jason
