robrado974 1 Posted November 2, 2013 I'm thinking of getting a new engine for the Vr . I've heard of vege , but know one else . Who has a great reputation and what sort of price for a short block engine ? . Mine has 150k on it , with all my starting problems and the mileage on it , I'm thinking of getting rid and starting again , the head has only done 50k so that should be fine . Thanks , Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8vMatt 1 Posted November 2, 2013 Cough "R32" Cough!!! Or look out for a low mileage Golf 2.8 VR, then get it bored to 2.9 or even 3.0 with new pistons and associated parts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robrado974 1 Posted November 2, 2013 Wish I could afford an R mate , the way I feel ATM I could happily break it and sell the parts ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8vMatt 1 Posted November 2, 2013 Don't let your C hear you talking like that you bad man! A golf engine would cost bugger all to use as a base unit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
somersetdub 0 Posted November 2, 2013 I've got a late mk3 2.8 vr6 engine for sale! The engine is good to go as it is as far as I know, but could also be used for a rebuild. £100 PM me for more details if you're interested :) Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
