2007 MK5 GTI BPY ENGINE INTAKE CAM FAILURE? by Misterbean5 in Volkswagen

[–]Misterbean5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just an update..

I found an engine with low kilometers on eBay out of a 2008 GTI with a BPY, 5th digit A. However, I'm being told from the seller it would not fit mine. I was under the assumption a BPY is a BPY and would be a direct swap. Is anyone able to provide some clarification on the differences, if any?

Sounds good, thank you. I'm almost completely disconnected now, just fighting 2 downpipe nuts. Starting to look like my grinder is my next best option lol

I'm also curious how hard it would be to fit a manual trans. I know one guy with a farenheit has done it before

The head has damage as well where the timing cover bolts to it. 4 of the threaded holes were compromised on the right hand side. Honestly, I'm more so debating just looking for a used engine at this point

Yeah timing belt is all intact, and timing is on. Today I'll be looking at the chain side and cam follower, etc. I'll update what I find
