I have absolutely no idea - it's always been well looked after and serviced using the correct oil..
my only thought is that is has had a minute crack in it for a long time that suddenly just got better.
the previous owners have definitely had the head of it before for one reason or another, nothing in the history about it though

Has anyone got an understanding of whether VW use the same pistons in all their TDI blocks?

Right - some significant progress has been made!

I managed to source a brand new non reconditioned AJM engine for an absolute bargain price.
I've been building it up over the last few weekends and managed to get it back in to the engine bay yesterday!
Just a case of plugging things back in again now and firing her up for the first time.




also a little challenge; can anyone guess what this is?

Oh, and also for reference the pistons across the PD engines are different - the 130 and 150 ones are possibly the same as each other but the others produce different compression ratios

Hopefully almost done! found that the injector from cyl3 is shagged... no wonder the injection timing was such a pain to set!
collecting a replacement today and chucking it in, fingers crossed it'll do the trick!

Well - as no one seems to reply on this part of the forum.... it's the internals of an air conditioning compressor - a fantastic bit of engineering and just show why they cost so much
