DESTROYED! VOLKSWAGEN 2.0L TDI Engine Absolutely TRASHED After A BIG Mistake! #dieselgate

For parts go to www.Importapart.com or email us at [email protected] Today's teardown is an engine I've been looking for for quite some time! This is the 2.0L Volkswagen TDI from a 2012+ VW Passat. I am unsure of mileage of this engine, but I am sure it went out with QUITE A BANG! This engine, or variants of this engine were found in LOTS of VW/Audi Products. This particular CKRA and produces 140hp and 236lbft of torque when stock. These engines were part of the infamous diesel gate scandal where Volkswagen engineers "cheated" emissions testing and as a result many of the cars with this engine are no longer on the road, and the cars that are have been retrofitted with different emissions components. This engine appeared to be in good shape aside from the massive amount of damage in the crankcase. What caused this failure? Could it have been prevented and will I get ANYTHING to salvage from this? My name is Eric and I own and run Importapart, a full service auto dismantler. Part of our model includes buying bad, blown and core engines to dismantle for parts. We salvage the good sellable parts and recycle the rest. We do not rebuild engines, merely supply parts to people who do. 00:00 Summary 02:46 Startin' on the harness.
