Wanted : B5 RS4 Engine. 2nd hand or refurb'd

Post by weta.worker » Wed Oct 19, 2016 5:37 am

Hi, my B5 RS4 has gone in for it's usual service and now the engine is out on a workbench...

Basically the top end looks unhappy (worn cams , bent valves) and also the turbos need replacing. The bottom end is an unknown.

Rather than waste any more time and money (as part pricing is already hitting big numbers) I was wondering if anyone knew of a company that sells refurb'd whole engines (forward of the transmission) or a 2nd hand \ breaking vehicle.

I've emailed one thread (http://audisrs.com/about66643.html ) but wanted to see what other options I had.

Cheers

Would very much recommend you speak to Jimbo first. He is also on SRS but does post here too. :thumbs:

Sorry, I pm'd Jimbo, which seems like the wrong Jimbo (not the Jimbo1234567)

Will PM you now. Thanks!

Have had a reply from Jimbo but nothing for a while (am assuming he's a busy man)

In the meantime I now have a better idea from the mechanic of what is needed (it went from possibly cheaper to get a whole engine to this list). Doesn't seem as bad now.

Anyone able to help source these parts? Or the best place to ask?

"Cams
Cam followers for exhaust cams
Exhaust valves
Head gasket sets (complete)
Head bolts
Turbos. "

Thanks so much!
