You may remember my sorry story
http://www.aulro.com/afvb/d3-d4-rrs/195535-stuffed-engine.html
I had the engine inspected by the local dealer and he took 3 injectors out and shoved a camera down to inspect the combustion chamber.
Number 3 shows vertical scoring the length of the piston stroke, the other 2 still have the original cross hatch honing marks.
I've seen this with my own eyes, it wasn't pretty.
Mechanic said he didn't believe it was my poorly installed filter, probably the wrong oil used some time in the past.
So, no more delaying. I need to replace the engine.
One option I have is a new short motor.
I'm looking for someone in Canberra or Sydney who might be able to do the remove and replace.
Any help would be appreciated.
