Not a bad engine to use!

I've written a 20v guide on here, it's quite old, so the cost is probably out, but the method is still the same.

Fantastic that's the very reason I joined the forum to get everyone's hints and tips!

I'll have a good study through your guide!

Welcome along!
Love engine swaps. What one are you looking to drop into it?

Will do a bit of research on the site first but I have a 2003 tt just now with a bam engine, so im thinking about putting that in

Fair point, the callipers on the front have got a lot of years on them, maybe even original. I'll have them off and rebuild them then!

Sounds like you've picked up a little grit or something in the piston.
Could be that they've started to corrode as well.

Fortunately rebuild kits are pretty cheap and you can do them yourself without too much trouble.
