This is an engine whose repair is very difficult and costly, and often simply not worth it.
You cannot repair this engine cheaply and well.
CRT CZV CZZ engines are often so severely seized that it's not worth repairing them.
If the crankshaft has seized, it's often also warped and not suitable for regeneration.
The overhaul of such an engine, where you need to replace the crankshaft, camshafts, pistons, and other parts that always need to be replaced, would have to cost over 12 000 €.
Such an overhaul is not worth performing.
Beware of cheap offers! Trying to save a bit can lead you to lose much more.
Most used engines are offered with a start-up warranty and without an invoice.
If such an engine seizes after a few months, it turns out you've thrown a significant amount of money away.
The same goes for engines that sellers call "refurbished" or "overhauled".
They too are usually offered with a very short warranty and without a VAT invoice.
Their sellers do not want to take responsibility for the "overhaul" because they know very well that an engine after such an overhaul will not last very long.
See what happened to an engine purchased on Allegro after driving just under 1500 km.

New CRT CZV CZZ engines cost 18 734 € at authorized Audi service centers.
In our service, instead of these somewhat unsuccessful engines, we install DEN code units, which are an improved version of the aforementioned engines. At VW authorized service centers, as a replacement engine (Austauschmotor, returning the old engine), they cost 13 481 €
With us, such a NEW engine costs 11 600 €
At authorized service centers, these engines are made to order, and often you have to wait several weeks for delivery.
With us, they are always in stock, and we replace up to 4 units a week.
By replacing a 3.0 TDI engine at VAG-EXPERT, you can save up to 11 200 €
This is an example from a customer who was quoted 27 040 € for a replacement at an authorized service center but paid only 15 850 € with us.
Why such a big difference in price?
The difference stems from the commercial policies of the Audi and Volkswagen brands. CRT CZV and CZZ engines are intended for Audi (a premium brand), so they cost nearly 5 350 € more at authorized service centers than the DEN engine (which is for Volkswagen), even though they are no different.
Moreover, we sell these engines for 1900 € less than at authorized service centers, and we charge less for the replacement.
We have undeniable experience in engine overhauls and replacements. We have been in this business for 28 years. We have overhauled more than 300 3.0 TDI engines and installed about 160 such NEW engines.
Improper engine installation and failure to rectify faults in engine accessories that caused the original engine to seize will result in the failure of the new unit.
Replacing a seized 3.0 TDI engine is a process consisting of many tasks related to identifying and repairing or replacing engine accessories that caused its seizure, as well as components that were damaged as a result of this failure.
We determine the causes of engine seizure
We test the injectors on a professional test bench, Carbon Zapp MTBR
An injector that fails the tests must be replaced. If it achieves a positive result, it receives a new Imei code, which must then be added to the car's control unit.
The filter is tested using a professional machine from the Swiss company FFSolution
If the DPF is clogged, we attempt to clean it using the aforementioned device. If the cleaning process is unsuccessful, the particulate filter must be replaced.
We test the turbocharger on a professional device, TurboTest by Cimat
The turbine is lubricated with engine oil, so it often seizes for the same reasons as the engine. If the turbine does not pass the test, it needs to be replaced.
This is another important procedure we perform with every engine replacement
It involves reprogramming the engine controller to achieve higher engine oil pressure, such a modification significantly extends the lifespan of the new engine.
With every 3.0 TDI engine replacement, we clean the engine intake system components of carbon deposits
We replace accessory components contaminated with filings from the seized engine, which cannot be effectively cleaned, such as the oil cooler or oil level sensor. We use new seals for all transferred components. We replace the fuel and air filters, as well as the gas and oil in the air conditioning system.
