where to...

rebuild my 1.6 golf mk2 engine? I had few quotes from people i know, but they all said aroud 800quid... which is quite expensive for rebuilding 1.6.
Does anyone here does this kond of job, or maybe any one here knows someone who does?
Basicly... before you start having a go at me for rebuilding 1.6.
I dont want a fast car, i want a nice, good runner that will take me from a's to b's. I really dont care on car's performance... well i do but im not too fast about speed.

why not just by another 1.6? will be cheaper than rebuilding one and a lot easier, im pretty sure there will be millions of them out there.

this place looks good ??

where abouts do you live?

buntingford on the A10.

bill, i was thinking about it, but then when something goes wrong again ill have to buy another 1.6, so i'd rather get it rebuild

if your taking it apart, may aswell get a 2 litre bottom end, will look exactly the same, then just rejet/retune the carb to suit.... can pick abottom end up for peanuts. no one will be able to tell looking under the bonnet..

There's nothing to say a rebuilt engine won't have problems if you skimp on the cost and get it rebuilt by someone that can't be arsed or doesn't know what they're doing.

Makes sense to go for the cheaper option first I reckon.

yeah i agree, you should be able to get a 1.6 lump for peanuts. i tried to sell one for £60, then £40, then tried to give it away. in the end i scrapped it. might aswell just get another one and take the chance that it will be knackered
