Volkswagen Repair: 1.8 t golf engine possible seized!, shipping requirements, engine compartment


Question

many thanks
alex

ANSWER: Alex,
 Very, very bad.  The only thing worse than running without oil would be to put a bomb in the engine compartment.  The list of possible damage is too long.  At minimum you need a rebuild.  I would not do a rebuild, just get a complete long block (with head) and do the install myself.

Answer
Alex,
 The availability and cost (including possible shipping requirements) of a rebuilt engine is totally dependant on your location, which I do not know.

Here is a source if you want to rebuild it:

Looks like kit #1 is for you.
