Re: Recon Engines
well I'm sure it would help us all if you let the secret out as to which 1.6 engine you have.. 
is it a NA or TD
remtec, VW heretage, VEGE
for recons
Elite for replacements
breakers for cheaper replacements SEAT, Passat, golf, audi.
see alternative engines for upgrading your diesel to an AAZ 1.9

Ah good point!
Its a 1.6 cs TD. I think its an audi 80 from what what my garage has said.

Re: Recon Engines
I don't think a CS is turbo but I might be wrong, why exactly do you need a complete new engine?

Find a different garage. CS is 1.6 Non turD, JX is 1.6 TurD, the 1.9TD info is in Alternative Engines and Ringo's speciality

Re: Recon Engines
Evening all,
Thanks for your replies.
Basically the engine decided to lock up whilst moving and basically went bang. I think the technical term is 'shagged'
My mistake on the engine too, my Nelly is just a plain old 1.6 diesel. Typo error on my front.
Am on the case with the search for a recon and hope to have her up and running by next weekend. Hoora..... Dont have any money left to put fuel in it, but at least I have a an engine in my Nelly!!
Thanks again for all your help,
Gareth
