Rebuild cost
Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone knows how much it costs to rebuild a 1300 or 1600 engine?
Or am I better to wait around to find a close to rebuilt one?
Also how much would a reco'd transaxle be or how much to get one rebuild?
Cheers |

Engine (no real expense spared but still stock) would be $3500 - 5000.
Transaxle around the $1300-1500

I had my motor machined with new oversized bearings and crank work done and it was about $1500.

What you pay for is what you get,if you want brand new you should buy a new factory motor from Mick's or one of the other suppliers who import
these,they have a good warranty etc,if you want reconditioned go to a reputable vw rebuilder and he will build what you want to your budget, or if you
want a bargain buy secondhand or backyard builder and that is what you will get. My suggestion is go with either of the first two.

excellent working motor!!
