Which recon enginewould you recommend

Post by **mr2allotments** » 07 Dec 2010, 18:45

Hi

I am looking to buy a recon petrol 1.9DG engine but am getting conflicting advice.

I have narrowed it down to Remtec, Vege or Ivor Searle.

Which would you recommend and why please?

Chris

Does your van run on LPG?

I bought a Remtec 3 1/2 years ago; absolutely no problems with it in the 50,000 odd km it's done so far - runs sweet as a nut.
Quick delivery and easy to arrange collection of the old unit for the deposit refund. Can't fault the engine or the customer service I got from them.

Thats Ok

Vega and Rimtec will not honour a warranted if you LPG it

Hi again

A couple of people have recommended Laurie Pettitt and he gets good reviews on other sites ... any recommendations from you guys?

Hi

i am trying to buy a recon 1.9DG and The Engine Shop in Erith, Kent ( who advertise in the VW mags) have been recommended to me.

Their website looks good and they were very helpful on the phone , but has anyone on this forum ever bought an engine from them or had any dealing with them?

Thanks, in advance, for your advice

Chris

Dear Gunslinger

please tell me more!

Most folks recommend these guys = http://www.elitevw.co.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

They fit for free if you can get the van to them (and this helps a lot if you do have any warranty issues)

I have a 2.1 from them

no problems to report after 10K

BUT they are a little slow in getting them done.
