Did someone say a new engine?

[Edition30]

Thanks for all the info...I really want it baaaaaaack 

Just hope I have it back in time for the Krispy Kreme meet, then again im going to have to take it easy as it will need running in again, wont it?

A friend really seems to think I will get a 1.7CDTi Astra, as her mum rents cars from the same company and gets these all the time. If thats the case im going to try get a DTUK tuning box for the time being will be like being back in my old car.

Would this affect the value in any way? would you purchase a car that has had to have a new engine fitted?

hope you get it back soon, did you actually find out whats was wrong with it or not? 

if you cant make this krispys meet, then if theres a good show, there could well be another

Sorry to hear about your engine mate.... Its quite sad not having your car.. trust me I know mine is going in today and Im already missing her even though shes out on the drive

Its a shame to hear about the engine. Just make certain that they do not do anything without your permission.

From what I picked up when he was talking al techy...they took the gear box out and theres some sort of oil pump  some part of it has to be machined off and when thats been done a fine crack has been in some part of the engine and when under pressure it begins to leak.

Not very technical as you can tell 

Should be getting a rental car very soon, but wont be the same coming to the meet in a Astra or whatever it will be.

Looks like a dsg gearbox remaining!!, maybe you may get a green electric motor to bolt in as its replacement!!!  happy days!!!.

At least you have one of those mega powerful "get and Run faster" model polo's 

Fingers crossed for you Edition30 its not too long a wait.

In all honesty im not happy at all about this 'defect' that has happened 

Im thinking it will lose value due to the new engine as it will be recorded on the cars history and to be honest I dont think I would buy a second hand car that has had to have a new engine.

Not too bad.  At least it is a Dub.  And has the correct number of doors!   

BTW, where are you from, cause that number plate is near to my locale?

And the ED30 engine.

WTF was that pic taken?  Looks like some chav has tried to steal it at a scrap yard!

Nope, the gearbox is missing, and the engine is in the pic.  You can clearly see the nice shiny end of the crankshaft where the flywheel bolts onto.   

At least you have one of those mega powerful "get and Run faster" model polo's 

Lift the carpet mat, and he should be able to see the road.  Then he can run like fcuk - in a Fred Flinstone fashion!   

Fingers crossed for you Edition30 its not too long a wait.

Aye, agreed.
