Sump_slammer 23 Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 After a decent vr6 engine low milage if possible. Not too fussed at obd1 or obd2 as ive recently rebuild a head. Would like proof of milage if its a low mile item or to hear and see running before removal. Cheers Steve. Link to post Share on other sites

Tyler Davies 0 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Is it worth dropping a vr6 lump in my mk4 golf 3 door or is that to much effort? Link to post Share on other sites

paceo 22 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 loads on ebay dude, you can get a good working engine for £150, but consider if its above 80k head will need work most likely and chains! Link to post Share on other sites
Sump_slammer 23 Posted November 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Bump O G BumpIf you know of any decent lumps for sale please let me know!Still after a decent lump. Yes there are some on ebay. But they are all high milage worn out items or they have no proof of milage. Link to post Share on other sites
Therusterman 59 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) May be better saving a little longer and refurbishing another engine. If it were me, I'd be looking at how well the engine has been maintained over mileage. As Paceo said, it will benefit from a head refresh and chains, both of which would be worth doing as a matter of course as the engine will be apart. As you said, its difficult to find low mileage engines for sale, and considering how old the mk3 is now you'll do well to find one imo.

daveyboy 897 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Pick your toys up mate, no need to throw them all out of the pram. You've been offered a low mileage block and crank minus pistons and rods and people have said there's plenty of running engines on ebay for sale.To be fair these cars have been knocking around for 20+ years now, not gonna be many low mileage ones out there, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.Your best bet if you've got a fresh head and chains would be to get that low mileage block and crank off six appeal get some new pistons and rods and build it up and hey presto brand new engine or as near as your gonna get to a brand new one Therusterman 1 Link to post Share on other sites
