USUAL problems A3 SPORT QUATTRO 1.8T?

[bigcooler]

went and had a look at it today and was told that it had burnt out a valve and piston 1 and 4 were pitted which i would have thought would have been 2 valves as i dont see how parts of 1 valve could get from piston 1 to piston 4?

also i couldn't look at the head as this was in the garage and they weren't open today which was a bit annoying as i couldn't see if there was any damage to it.

apparently the engine code is AJQ and i noticed the coils were bolted to the rocker cover as that was in the boot, any one able to confirm that this could be an AJQ?

ring euro car parts or GSF, give em the reg, ask for prices on summat like rocker gasket and they will give you it while conversation is going on

have a look here, is this of any use matey?

ALSO............... engines dont just melt, this is common as ive seen quite a few, bolt a new engine in and a month later, same piston same size hole lol
