that sucks
ouch! looks like a replacement motor may be your best bet unless you plan on building that one up
ugh. bummer. how many miles were on it?
I saw the carnage first hand. Intake valve contact FTL 
Eh, we’ll see. Either way its going to be a good chunk of change.
about 110,000
thats an odd looking head what kind of car is this?
I believe that is a 1.8 turbo vw head from a passat. Definitely an interference motor. 1.8 BT time?
Was the belt ever done before? I thought the maintenance schedule was 70 or 80 k for the 1.8t
so did it really take 16 hrs like the book said???
oh thats bad.
Intake valve damage only increases performance.
sucks
i bet it took longer
it took jeff and i everybit of that just to change the timing belt and water pump on my wifes passat
sorry to see that be rad how many milles did you have on yours?
I was prob there for 5 hours maybe just ripping it apart.
Hows the wifes passat running after your service?
good…make sure you set the timing belt one rib off
jeff will remeber
they you say to set it a one rib off to allow for the new belt to streach
Brad,
check this stuff out. it’s local, but I think that everything that is broken on his engine is also broken on yours. Might be able to use some of the stuff though, IDK.

Don’t think I can use any of that. Same stuff broken on that is broken on mine.

but runs like a dream

Don’t think anyone’s going to want a Passat after reading this thread
