Title: VOLKSPARES!!!
Post by: Sandeept on 06 April 2005, 19:42

Hi

Just wanted to know if anyone has ever dealt with Volkspares as I'm thinking of buying and getting them to fit a new 8v Golf GTi engine to my MK2 as mine is tired now. I think they charge around 650 quid all in, does that sound good??

Cheers

Don't know much about Volkspares but £650 all in seems pretty reasonable but you need to check that there are no hidden extras that they will bolt on, for example, cambelt and tensioner that will start to make the price creep up.  :undecided:

Thanks mate, I think you have to add extras like pulleys and belts but it still sounds quite cheap, I just don't know what there quality of fittling the engine is like
