opinions?
« on: 24 October 2009, 19:18 »
ok so i have low compression in to pistons, whats the best idea as to whether to have a new engine or get a rebuild? if im honest im a bit worried about getting a new one from somewhere like ebay as i wouldnt know what i was buying, what are peoples thoughts on a rebuild? im not looking to upgrade as im happy with the 16v abf as im not a racer how much is a rebuild likely to cost any ideas?

cheers
tom

oh its a mk3 2l 16v abf
