Could be anything inside. If you see clear silicone anywhere on the engine it could well mean nasty corrosion.

Re: Vege engine
10 years ago they were excellent. Now they can be a disaster. My local garage refuses to give any warranty for these engines after previous disasters. Sorry!

Re: Vege engine
We no longer sell engines, sick of having to put them right for free.
There's a genuine gap in the market to do them properly, thing is that the UK WBX owner is not prepared to pay what it costs to rebuild one properly and reliably.

About 4k for a standard spec wbx with all the best bits and done properly, most of it goes in the bin round here. For not much more you can have a 2.5
