[Chambo]

Hi all bit of advice sought really i have the chance to get the above motor,well swap it for my Bora tdi.I dont do massive miles so the petrol/diesel issue is not a worry but what im after is a realistic price for the Golf i have checked Parkers and Car value and they came in at £1200 and £2600 which is no help at all so what do you fellas think?
The car is in good condition
Golf mk4 1.8t 20v estate
51 plate

AUM engine with Ko3s turbo and a rare car so i believe
thanks,Chambo

look for similar ones for sale on autotrader etc to get a better idea of what its worth bud.

with that limited info the parkers guide price is a pretty reasonable answer, i wouldn't value it at the top end though unless it had toys like leather, satnav or xenons.

mine was pretty good on fuel and didn't feel much bigger than a hatchback to drive
