Hi,
I own a 1999 VW Passat .. 1.8T SA ... it had done 220,000 kms and now the engine is blown, so very dissapointed. It was making a very loud whirring sound, and other sounds I haven't heard an engine make before! As I was driving it to the mechanic, the engine cut out and would not start again.
My mechanic said that it would be best to get a replacement engine, and he said that i would be looking at $4,500 - $5,500. He is searching for an engine at the moment. So I just wanted to check with some VW people whether this sounds okay? Where abouts would you get a replacement engine from if I wanted to look myself?
Is there much modification required to put in the V6 engine?
Should I spend this on the car or just try and sell it as it is?
At the moment I am completely lost, confsued and dissapointed! So if anyone can offer any advice on what I can/could/would/should do, any comments, opinions, anything!! that would be really good.
Thanks,
Sam.
