- Engine Swop
« on: 16 April 2004, 12:20 »
Allo, can anybody tell me the rough cost of a 1.8 16v from a Gti?

I'm thinking about replaing my trusty 8v lump with a grufty 16v jobbie.

Cheers in advance

Keep a eye on the parts for sale board, there has been a couple of bargains recently.

sometimes as low as ?50 for the engine. I'd advise upgrading the mk1's brakes before you do a swap though! mk2 16v ones would be good. G60 ones better.
