[yeah its slightly annoying, but when you buy silly cars you have an emergency rebuild fund :rofl: I roughly know the cost of a genuine ‘short’ engine, hopefully your specialist can knock that down somewhat. I have seen them on Alibaba but I’m not certain I would trust a Chinese ‘rebuild’ with poten ...

From what the mechanic says its knocked crank out, its a petrol engine which I thought was bombproof.

6318 VDM activation line, left
D76A VDM rear left damper satellite
D768 VDM front left damper satellite
