Year of Manufacture *: 2002
( Optional ) Engine Code or CC: AWY
It had the usual burnt valves which were replaced elsewhere and the smoking has (so we're told?) started since this repair?
First thought was stem seals damaged during repair which were in poor condition (rubbers were splitting and frayed around spring) and so replaced, unfortunately this has not cured the issue
So it looks like it's either guides or rings? Wanted some advice as I have heard some conflicting opinions on wether or not to attempt a rebuild on this engine?
Just to add, the smoke is minimal at idle and worse when revved hard (probably overrun but hard to tell) and compressions are all good.
The apparent issue with a rebuild is that VW have classified the block as non serviceable??
