Well my 266000+ KM sciroccos engine finally let go. I was accelerating
through 80km/h when all of a sudden I noticed my oil temp increased from
95 deg C to like 200 in seconds than I saw grey smoke come out the back.
I immediately turned the engine off and coasted awhile. After looking in
the engine compartment there was a smell of burnt oil and smoke
bellowing out from everywhere, and what appeared to be a streak of oil
coming from the #3 cylinder where the head and block meet (cylinder head
gasket). I restarted the engine and when trying to get moving again it
make a weird clanging sound like a diesel. There is a lack of power and
it leaks oil/rad fluid. In fact my block heater plug fell out!!! Since I
will be removing the engine and ripping it apart I was wondering what I
should look for etc. I am thinking a ring may have gone but I am not
sure if what happened could be cause by a ring letting go. What should I
rebuild in the engine? New rings/bearings is that all I should replace
or is there more? Any ideas would be great!!!
