Post by: Xtremeteam on December 04, 2005, 17:20:45: 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
