Well, it's either a piston or crank I think, but looking at the costs of these engines it might be worth replacing parts.

Will be giving A8 parts a call shortly.

Thanks for the ad info guys. I am just skeptical having anyone else do the work

I trust myself and a friend to do it and I need it back on the road at the weekend

Not fun

I'd consider letting that seller supply and fit, it's a good price, and the warranty helps too.

What exactly happened to the old one?

I am pretty sure the price is for bare base engine keeping old ancillaries, turbo, manifolds ect...
