Title: 1.8T into Mk2 golf
Post by: dan7 on 18 May 2008, 21:04

How much to do this DIY? Or is it best left to the experts? How much for them to do this?

DIY? depends on how much you can get the lump for, some say £3k others day £5k. If you are handy under the bonnet I'd say give it a go if you got all the equipment. the experts will charge you at least £5k with a cheaply sourced engine.
