    quick update

    Quick update: Decided to give the rusty replacement engine an electolysis bath to try and remove the rust from the cylinder walls without scrubbing.

    The result was not what I wanted, but definitely surprising!!

      Subscribed. Good luck!
      Can you link to where you read about the improvements VW has done to this engine over the years? I have a CAVD from 2012 and I always wonder how long it will last. Currently doing 72,000 km.

        There's two threads going on this car so I've combined them in the one place (Mk6 Forum).

        For the ongoing story follow it here: Slow death of a 118TSI
