Well, honesty I have to spend the money on something different than the car so I have no idea...
If, after this try, I can make the engine work ok and also be reliable I would stick to this engine. If I can not do that I will look for other ways...
The problem in Romania is that making the engine swap (to 2.0 TFSI) legally is very costly and time and energy consuming. By contrast, a twincharge is much, much simpler... If I keep the current engine block it is not even necessary.
So if I can make this engine reliable it will stay on the car for a long time (or until I will get another daily drive and keep this car only for trackdays).
Any plans on replacing the twincharge on the Polo with a 2.5 TFSI one (and selling the twin charge)? :innocent:

I opened up the engine to eliminate a small missfire issue and ran into a lot of problems :sad1:. A new engine is starting to make sense (twincharge or 2.0 TFSI)...
Hopefully everything will be ok and I will be able to visit Nurburging and Hungaroring in October.

I haven't got the Polo GTI anymore Rex. :innocent:
Traded it in and bought a low mileage Golf .:R DSG :evilgrin:

Sorry Hurdy, I seem to have missed the part where you traded in the Polo...

That doesn't matter, Hurdy. Rex will also accept your R engine. :signLOL:
To be more seriously:
Getting ED30/S3/Cupra engine and gearbox is simply a budget question.
A AXX or BWA would be much cheaper but regarding future plans a K04
engine would be the wisest decision.
