Ugly TDI pix.

Well here is what it looks like with the head off. My wife was driveing the kids to school and said the car died when she pulled onto the hwy. She didn't get 20ft. and it stopped. I thought that it jumped timming but I'm not sure it didn't drop a valve as the marks were lined up.

It makes me sick to see that happen to an engine.

Sorry man.

Wow, that's ugly

Never seen the inside of a TDI...looks like the pistons have a factory hole or
something in it ? (Not referring to the crunched piston).

They do have a funky cavity in them. Maybe they are for collecting broken valves.

Wep, but they do collect broken valves very well. There is no room for error in this engine, if you are off just a little, it gets ugly.
