Audi Allroad.

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

Jcarr > scoob
12/23/2015 at 09:21

Think more in terms of cousins.

BigBlock440 > Jcarr

It has a timing belt and chain? Holy shit.

Jcarr > Steve is equipped with Electronic Fool Injection
12/23/2015 at 09:21

Nope, wrong engine, wrong branch.

EL_ULY > Jcarr

if it has a chain and belt, it will have to be a Audi of some sort

Jcarr > BigBlock440
12/23/2015 at 09:22

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

Phaeton...

Jcarr > EL_ULY

I think his notes might have been foggy. Pretty sure it just had a belt.

Steve is equipped with Electronic Fool Injection > Jcarr
12/23/2015 at 09:23

Or Passat W8

Jcarr > Steve is equipped with Electronic Fool Injection
12/23/2015 at 09:23

Nope, but right branch.

CalzoneGolem > Jcarr
12/23/2015 at 09:23

Pretty sure that’s a Lambo.

BigBlock440 > Jcarr
12/23/2015 at 09:24

Oh. Now I’m kind of disappointed, I was looking forward to finding out what mythical beast had both.

Getting warmer.

bobbe17 > Jcarr
12/23/2015 at 09:26

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

Jcarr > bobbe17
12/23/2015 at 09:28

Oh so close.

$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?

Kinja'd!!!

car has both timing chain and timing belt?

Eh, he took it to the sleazy dealer here in town so...

Jcarr > MonkeePuzzle
12/23/2015 at 09:31

I think he got confused when taking notes. Just a belt.

Jcarr > AMGtech - now with more recalls!

Nope, but you’re in the right neighborhood.

functionoverfashion > Jcarr
12/23/2015 at 09:32

yeah, I just don’t know my audi designations well... another generation of S4?

B6 Passat 2.0T... Really? or a MKV GTI/GLI

Wow.

Ding ding ding!

2006 Passat 2.0T

2.8 passat? Only engine I know for sure that has a belt and chain set up.

GTI?

Jcarr > AMGtech - now with more recalls!
12/23/2015 at 09:39

I think his notes were a little confused. Someone got it, see the edit above.

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.

jkm7680 > Jcarr

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

Jcarr > jkm7680
12/23/2015 at 10:29

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

Milky > Steve is equipped with Electronic Fool Injection

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.

jkm7680 > Jcarr
12/23/2015 at 10:34

That too. Imagine him with an Allroad.........

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.
