Hi there

does anyone know who and how much this can be done?

Is tbere such a thing as a turn key motor?

Regards

Hi
Are you going to do the work yourself, or get a garage to do it ?
It is probobly the most simple conversion to do, but its hard to find a good low miles AAZ now, and you will want to hear the donor engine running with good service history.

And if looking for a mechanic/ garage to do it - what part of the country are you in?

[uncle monty]

I live in somerset

i was think a recon motor ideally with ancillaries

basically hassle free for a garage to do

Not aware of anywhere in Somerset, the garage I used for my recent engine swap is Millers Motor Service down in Launceston - he doesn't stock recon engines but would certainly fit one for you for a reasonable price, if you source one:-

They do get booked up though, mine was down there for ages and there was several T25's waiting when I went to pick mine up!

The only place i've seen offering a "turnkey" recon engine and installation for T25's is T25 Direct in London. They don't advertise an AAZ conversion, but you can see some options here to get an idea of price:-

They seem to be all about the petrol GTI engine conversion - maybe because of the LEZ in London?

Great advice!

thanks for that!

Jxs range from 1300 to 1600 pounds recon but cant find price for recon aaz

its a job ill have to do soon.


Ill check this guy out

Hi
You can get recon engines, but will need an old one to exchange, best to try and get a donor car and take all you need

I'm getting an aaz remanufactured but as above generally work is on an exchange basis. Will take longer as I don't have an exchange.

[uncle monty]

spoke to t25 direct

they seem to know their stuff in supply and fit engines, and have all the options of different engines

pretty much hassle free for a week without the van at around 2K all in!

to use that shocking phrase; a one stop shop!

still a lot of money and probably can be done cheaper elsewhere

good starting point though
