Disaster

[Tango]

As ive said lots of times, Cho needs to get the car running to see what sort of state its in, re-the eng/man/lights, what boost its running, This will be better than any report.

That's assuming he didn't have a conrod with material properties or other attributes that were on the marginal side of handling the increase in power. Does anyone know if it was the rod that went or the bolting? It needs examining to find out what failed before you reason why.

Fair comment Prolex-UK....... But it's a known fact any modification is not without consequence..... Albeit using more fuel or insurance premiums...

Their disclaimer highlights this fact and allows the owner to progress or not.... Don't forget cho asked for this modification and as far as we know TDi warned the internals should have also been upgraded but cho's purse couldn't stretch to this?

Additionally if the dash lights flagged alarm bells to TDi i would assume they would have acted on this immediately!!

I just feel cho should have an independent report as suggested then gone public if TDi shy away from their promise.... At the moment it like kicking the puppy because you found a puddle on the floor..... Get your evidence then kick the puppy.

I have just been catching up with the thread as I have not been on for a while due to work and I am completely flabergasted at the statement you have made above. "cho's purse couldn't stretch to this?" Where did you receive your information to make such a statement? I was never told that the internals should be uprated and if I had been I would have done so. The whole reason I went for the stage 1 upgrade is becasue I was told it was safe to do on standard internals. Tony I understand that this may no be your own opinion and that you are merely acting as a voice for tdi so I will give you the benefit of the doubt, however I would ask that you refrain from making comments that have no substance. I have met you before and you have worked on my car and it was a pleasure. I find it offensive that you can there after make a comment such as this which is completely untrue. I have my car at a local garage, the new engine arrived yesterday and the strip down and instalation of forged internals will begin next week Regarding the email sent by Mark to me, I did not feel the remainder of the email was of relevance so I did not include it. I can confirm that tdi did offer me a second hand block, they did offer to do the work at cost but could not tell me what that cost would be.

I dont think he was saying you couldnt afford it, but speaking hypathetically. I doubt he intended offence

[cho]

Im not offended by the claim that I couldn't afford it but by the fact Tony seems to believe that I was told I should have the internals upgaded which I was certainly not, the statement suggests I opted out of the safe option due to budget constraints which simply is not the case and I just wanted to clarify that.

Fair comment.... I want to offer my sincere apologies for the "Purse" comment... It was based on how i perceived the situation not actual fact... So on reality i had no right to say what i said.... I'm sorry.

I have to say though my voice for TDi is only so members can see the other side of the story.

Thank you Tony, I would just like to say for the recored that I believe TDI make quality components and that I would still buy from them. There is still no evidence to support a view that would implicate TDI workmanship as being the direct cause of my engine malfunction. I appreciate everyones comments thus far and would ask that we all wait to see the results from the engine strip down. Tony I am still hoping to come and see you to get the steering arm installed and have the geometry re calibrated as soon as the car is up and running again.
