Hi guys-just like to say having been on the forum for a week you've all got a smashing thing going on here!
I'm new to the gti6 scene but have had dturbos and hdis for a few years now.

My problem with the new motor as the title suggests though isnt too good! It took a wee gulp of water the other day and after white smoking like a train for 10 mins or so which did clear it had developed a distinct ticking sound which seems to be coming from the r/h side of the engine looking from the gearbox end to the front of the engine.
From doing a quick search through the forum it seems that bent valves tend to be a big problem-would I be right in thinking this is what to expect to hear from the garage?

Many thanks in advance for any advice.

BK

Unfortunately, I agree if it's taken a gulp of water.

No thats the XSi engine your thinking of. the engine you want has to have RS stamped on the gear box end of the head and RFS on the back of the block

Another easy way to tell is the XSI engine has black plastic cam covers where as the GTi one has metal covers with '16V' stamped in the top of the front one.

I have a spare gti6 block also some xsi valves

I reckon I will be trying to get hold of a replacement engine and once its in and running maby stripping down the original to find out whats wrong,sorting it and selling it or if there is demand I would just move it on if anyone was interested. thanks for the input guys-much appreciated.

Just fitting the new pistons and rods would be more work than an engine change...
