Food for thought....

Still does haunt me that photo..

It might be nothing...get it checked out

thats what i think to be honest. can i ask what it cost you to get yours sorted?

 

[NottsLCR]

Mines costing about £1050 in total thats for the IE Rods, new piston rings, bearings, gaskets, oil, oil filter etc.... Labour is £350 of the total which I think is fair price, if I remember think Danny paid £300 but that was mates rates

ok, thats not TOO bad. not good!! n would be better if i hadnt cocked up in 1st place. was worried be like 3k or summat wulda jst written car off and forgotten it. lol

You could probably do it cheaper if you dont do Rings etc but while its all apart I thought it was worth it as I'll be having my Hybrid mapped soon so will be going over the current torque i have - probably why it bent in the first place

arent rods the only real major weak point of the 1.8 t anyways?, i know bam and auq variants come with forged pistons as standard, but not rods
