Bent connecting rod. 2019 VW 2.0 bi-turbo (MAN TGE). Big update!

Hi everyone, thought I’d do a post on my current findings. 2019 MAN TGE 2.0 bi-turbo 180bhp. The vehicle was misfiring up to around 1600rpm. After this it seemed to run fine. The below video has a description of what’s been done so far, I’ve also fitted a pressure regulating valve with no...

Hi All, I have a 2018 T6, that I'm running out of patience with... and garages... So I have purchased VCDS to try and get to the bottom of it... First issue was it started to use coolant, I swapped a known good charge cooler to eliminate that, Max to min in around 100 miles, So took it to VW...

Thank you for the response, I am now considering rebuilding my engine as had no luck locating a replacement. My money is on the EGR valve failing causing the bend con rod. I am now looking for a way to check the EGR when removed.

With the cooler removed fill the water circuit removing all air and pressure test with mains water pressure regulated to around 1 bar, if it is leaking the water will be apparent on the exhaust side. If you have too much pressure the valve spindle seal will leak into the electrical side.
It maybe that the EGR cooler is only leaking when hot but it sounds like you have had a significant leak so it should show.

You could rig up a pressure drop test but you would need to maintain a constant temperature, ensure every last air bubble is removed and use rigid fittings that won’t expand and contact as a hose would. Not really worth the effort.

Opting for a rebuild as had no luck locating a replacement engine. But I am struggling to locate oversized .5 pistons. VW and TPS are on back order until February.

Does anyone have any recommendations of suppliers to try?
