Bought a 00 Tdi golf w/ 88k. Checked the belt before i got it, said NAPA, so it was replaced. Driving down from Denver to Albuquerque at 85mph, and the car dies??? After a good time in Pueblo, CO (closest city to breakdown), i tow the car to Steve, the local Tdi guru, and all around great guy.
Next day i show up and he's got my timing belt in his hand. shotty.
Heres the situation: tore down the engine to the block.
Head=definately got some bent valves and some cracked seats.
Piston= look ok?? check them out for yourself.
SO, the questions are. Where to locate a new/used head?
How do i check the piston/con-rods? are they for sures bent? thats what a local VW mech (not steve) is telling me.
oops, how do i post a pic??
thanks for the help
