So I have a 99 a4Q 1.8T with triptronic trans. Recently have put tons of new parts on it, including turbo and catalytic converter, pads and rotors... couple sensors... Now my engine blew... What do you guys think a fair price is selling it as such... or better to part out and then junk the rest?

 

How did you blow the engine? If you threw a TB, rebuild it.

 

if it was a bigger turbo and didnt have a boost controller, probly went to high of a preassure

 

or sludge... [sm=smiley11.gif] If it's sludge, that's a different story.

 

Sludge would be correct... so I don't think that I am going to replace the engine... with just spending 4gs on repairs already

 

ok,, so i dont understand what your going to do? Sell your car get maybe 2-4k for it, and turn around and spend more on a new car?? Personally.. if i just dropped 4k into my car. I'd search around, figure out whats wrong with it and fix it.. just mho

 

^An engine damaged from sludge issue will often require a full rebuild.

How about a VR6 swap?
