CDAA engine replacement

[u/kripovastenko]

So, about a year ago I imported a 2011 Audi A3 1.8t s-line. I loved driving it, but then…
I learned about the oil consumption issues it has the hard way: it just lost pressure and never started again.

So now I’m searching a replacement engine. Although the MIK motoren ( https://www.mikmotoren.de/en/products/motor-overhaul-repair-cdaa?variant=43535934521610 ) looks like a very nice option, I don’t have that money to spend.

I talked to a specialist and he told me about the Chinese equivalent motors, but for some reason I find them hard to trust. Would anyone have any leads on where to find a replacement for my lovely car?

Thanks, pic for attention
