Wait, timing chain failure damaged the crank? That's a pretty spectacular failure even for a timing belt/chain snap.

I think he might have taken some unclear notes there. Pretty sure it just had a belt.

If it’s a chain my bet is Jetta with a 2.5. If it’s a belt, Passat or Jetta with a 1.8T

$6500 is pretty expensive for an engine replacement so it must be something newer and/or hard to work on. A 2.0 FSI could easily be had and installed in my area for $3,000 or so, and I don’t think it would double anywhere. So 3.6 VR6 Passat?

VAG not even once. Wait nvm.
But holy shit that much for a 2 liter turbo?! Hell I’d bet the guy thats trained to replace the 2.0 turbo in this charges less.

Damn. I saw your earlier replies about his notes but was betting on the possibility that they are good notes.

Seriously - the VAG independent specialist in Charlotte charges between 3-4000 for a 2.0T swap.

This is why you pay attencion to the reccomended timing belt change intervals.

Or in the case of this particular person, pay attention at all to the maintenance needs of your finicky German car.

I think I paid (its been like 6 years) $1500 for a junk yard pulled engine and the swap. Jeep 4.0L’s are simple, but damn. $3-4k is still a lot, but $6,500 for a pretty common engine seems crazy.

Complete engines run $1800-2000 retail so I imagine the shops can get them around $1500 for the 2.0T. They’re complex and have a lot of stuff to reconnect but I imagine it wouldn’t take a professional shop more than about 10-12 man-hours to do the swap.
