Supply and fit rebuilt/known used 2.1 engine
Any recommendations?
VW engine company on SW6 has some good reviews. Any first-hand experience? Just had a recommendation from someone who knows his stuff so I'll call them tomorrow. Looks like it'll be around £2800 fitted which will probably be a bit rich on a van I'm going to sell this year. If any traders on her have a decent used one they can fit please PM me. Cheers
Anyone used The Engine Shopin Erith?

Re: Supply and fit rebuilt 2.1 engine
Fitting a 2.1 is quite a simple affair and ssome good garages will take it on.
Have an hour on the phone and ask if they would.
Or if they know somebody.
There are a few engine suppliers on here.

You could sell it with the current engine as spares or repairs, presuming the engines shot

£2800 fitted
Is that plus vat?
90% recycled, only the gasket set will be new.

Don't want it broken Its way too good for that. It's got a long MOT so I don't have to rush. I'm going to check the head nuts and take it from there. I'm sure a decent engine will turn up eventually,

Re: Supply and fit rebuilt 2.1 engine
That's what I'll be hoping for. Got a DG now and if I'm spending I might as well make it worthwhile. Engine still feels as if it's running really smoothly, better than ever - so fingers crossed that it is just undertorqued head nuts.

DiDidn't mean break it or sell it to a breaker, its sellable for someone to buy to fix,obviously if the Van's decent otherwise, what's actually up with the engjne

Re: Supply and fit rebuilt/known used 2.1 engine
Disappearing water from header tank, not drawing from reserve tank, and failed a 2ml sniff test although it took a while, which I'm hoping means it's a small leak. As I fix one leak another appears. Had a lot of these failures with previous Elite engines so I recognised it quickly before overheating. I'm hoping it's just that they didn't torque the head properly.

Marco's been in the US for a while now. Any idea of cost for a decent running used 2.1? I'm looking but don't have a clue on the right price. Rally can't justify nearly 3k for a new one when I have to sell this year anyway owing to ULEZ expansion.

Thanks for this. I've tried Simon and he doesn't have one at the moment
