but all the professionals are quoting 5 to 7k!!!

5 to 7k! you might as well buy an original one..............

[golfvr6]

Don't go to places like C&R or TSR for engines.
Just an example :-

C&R quote 2500 bar for a 9A short block (2.0L)
VW want 1200 bar for the same thing.

Enough said  

[Veedubgt18v]

wtf? how do they get away with that? its not like it is a special one off or something! do you get extras or is it just the block? extras means lightened balanced etc

[golfvr6]

Not sure if there are any extras.
I know the vw block includes new sump and oil pump.
If you have an crap 9A block to exchange then you can get the recon 9A block from VW for 700 bar.

[Veedubgt18v]

mate c+r etc are blatantly on the take!

[golfvr6]

You aint wrong there mate!  

[tinman]

mate c+r etc are blatantly on the take!

of course. but so many people here swear by companies that do "awesome" jobs, and dont realise that the VAG parts counter can be good value some of the time.

[Veedubgt18v]

i use nothing but vag parts counter, even when its not good value it is if you know what i mean. i dont think there ignition leads are htat great tho, but maybe i was unlucky

[marcus123]

yeh there were loads of extras,high lift cams/polished head/skimmed blah blah blah.

but im not going there for 5-7k, no way,

i think when i get the money im just goin to buy a real g60 from germany

[marcus123]

a 1.8t conversion and a g60 conversion are goin to cost about the same to do for a digi. i got qoutes for both,

if you want to do the job properly then its gonna cost5-7k,

unless you know a vw engineer than can do stuff like put a v5 engine in a jetta ,


like i do!!!!!!!!!
