8v engine rebuild
« on: 11 April 2005, 21:58 »
hi, i was wonderin if there is anyone in the south wales area that could recomend a reputable company for an engine rebuild. i got bout 850 and really cant afford to get ripped off. i just had a close call with one company, just before they were suposed to pick my car up i was told that they would just clean the lump up and then just put it back in, so i would just be in the same position, but with a clean engine.

If not does anyone no of any mk2 gti 8v engines for sale?

any help would be much appreciated

thanks ,Ty south wales

ty, check out someone like www.vegeuk.com

I think from memory an exchange engine is £995 so a little over budget but quality is supposed to be top notch and at end of day you'll have a complete 'new' engine! :wink:
