#3: Re: WHAT TO DO? Author: Gazza, Location: OSWESTRYPosted: Tue Oct 09, 2012 4:35 pm ---- y are the engines / heads so expensive?
i paid £300 for the car and its on a 2002 (51) with 57k on the clock, want to make money on the car but not sure which is best way to go? need help please

#5: Re: WHAT TO DO? Author: Seabook, Posted: Tue Oct 09, 2012 4:44 pm ---- bolt a new head on and then sold the whole car.
without a working engine you aren't got much breaking value

Author: Gazza, Location: OSWESTRYPosted: Tue Oct 09, 2012 4:54 pm ---- well thats what i do for a living, mechanic and car dismantler, room? i got mor than enough room, i dont see how the engines will make money, yeah they are expensive but they aint selling, just looked on ebay now and a running gti complete is about £7-800, i think the way forward for this car is death
all parts available, sorry guys

Buy a whole Gti for '£7-800' for the engine if you have to, & then scrap/sell what's left over to claw some money back. Your car sounds nice, would be a shame to break it.

#10: Re: WHAT TO DO? Author: Gazza, Location: OSWESTRYPosted: Thu Oct 11, 2012 3:48 am ---- moonstone blue
#11: Re: WHAT TO DO? Author: Gavin28, Location: BlackpoolPosted: Thu Oct 11, 2012 4:19 am ---- If it was me i would probably rebuild it. I rebuilt my mondeo diesel when the cambelt snapped on that. Cost me around £150 for all the parts including new valves etc. It just depends on if you can get parts cheap locally. I used about 5 different auto factors to get my parts cheap - some are cheaper on some things - I remember getting a water pump for £14 from one!
#12: Re: WHAT TO DO? Author: Gazza, Location: OSWESTRYPosted: Thu Oct 11, 2012 4:50 am ---- thats true mate, well if i were to rebuild the head im looking at atleast £100 for all the valvem then head skim, headset head bolts, id do the cambelt kit, i can see it costing me about £300 ish, then if i was to sell it for £700 i dont seeany point in that has that would'ne even cover my time, its so annoying when i watch 'wheeler dealer', mike brewer is so annoying
#13: Re: WHAT TO DO? Author: chuckstar34, Location: London/Worcester/ GrimsbyPosted: Thu Oct 11, 2012 5:02 am ---- Well, Im after a rear axle, and you mentioned it was new or newish. Is that a refurb or new...shiny out of packet..new? If your are gonna bust it up, what do you want for axle?? Im thinking of doing a bearing kit but if it sfair price ill swap it out.
#14: Re: WHAT TO DO? Author: Gazza, Location: OSWESTRYPosted: Thu Oct 11, 2012 5:52 am ---- well the rear axle are selling for around £250 on ebay, but if you can collect it ill do it cheaper
#15: Re: WHAT TO DO? Author: chuckstar34, Location: London/Worcester/ GrimsbyPosted: Thu Oct 11, 2012 4:30 pm ---- ok well, i can collect and I can take it out if it makes it cheaper lol!
