I think the wastegete failure saved this engine and when the previous owner was trying to repair the throttle body, it skipped on start up. Got unbelievable lucky though
Was waiting for someone to ask me, I honestly have no clue, I can only assume it was possibly where the valves originally hit the pistons, but while it was cranking with a dead battery. I got super lucky after a few rotations it freed up nicely.
Awesome for taking this on!! Good luck with the journey💪🏽
Thank you, I really appreciate the support!
Good video, nice save. Goes to show that these engines aren’t always done for when the chains go.

Weird how small the m5 and mk6 circle is
So,why was the engine locking up when u turn by hand.What was the issue?

It's alive.. Niiice work. Your persistence paid off. Kudos Bro. Curious Is this a 2015 VW GLI SEL Facelift?
Thank you! Yes, it is fully loaded, but there are still tons of issues that need to be corrected to be 100%, but at least the engine is great now.
Makes me appreciate my timing belts. 😊
Tell me about it. After doing it twice, though, it wasn't that bad, but needing all the extra tools is not cheap
I used to drive a TDi mk6 jetta and man the way this looks makes me wish I still had it. Those wheels suit ir very well.
Thanks I really need to put some effort into repairing them
Great video 🔥🔥
