Title: Replacing engine.
Post by: imamosher on 25 November 2009, 18:49

Car is a mk3 1.6 golf.....recently it has started to loose power and today it seems to be really bad I can barely get over 60mph :angry:

I will be taking it to the garage, however incase its properly fooked I decided to look for another engine. I managed to find one with 74k on the clock for about 120 quid which i thought was rally reasonable. 

My question is how much would i garage cost to take the old one out and put in a new one?

thanks

probably looking at 40 an hour labour from a decent independant garage and maybe 4-6 hours to do the swop?
