WANTED 1600cc Type 2 Engine

preferably a runner mines beyond economic repair!

 

i stand corrected! VZi volkzone?

 

Thanks, bit over my budget tho!

 

seems easier to find rocking horse poo....

 

They break quite easily as you've found out. Can't expect people to give them away, but if time wasn't the enemy, you'd eventually find a bare engine for £3-400

 

Not expecting it for free dude but £1200 seems a bit expensive too me £3-£400 is more realistic

 

Heads are £170 a throw and there's 2. A new case is £600.
so £340 for 2 heads. Expecting to get a whole engine for this amount? If you find one it'll be a risker, not a rebuilt one.
Saying that, EliteVW will sell you a reconditioned engine with 12 months warrenty for £575 which is pretty well unbeatable.

 

Thats worth knowing, thanks for the heads up

 

How about a 2 litre pancake engine? And it's in Stafford

 

Sounds interesting.... How many £'s?

 

I'm already asking the same question!

 

That the engine I have. All good tbh

 

So you would recommend? How long you had it?

The links on this post are the same engines .

 

Will bear that in mind... Can somebody explain turnkey? !

 

Turnkey means bolt it in, connect it up and turn the key. ie: its complete and ready to go. Some peoples idea of turnkey are not quite the same though. To me its ready to fit. Still will want to check tappets and change oil etc
