New engine Vs Rebuild?

[lucifer666]

I currently have a 2.016v cupra sport. So heres the story:

Was driving pretty fast in 4th gear around 100mph and as I slowed down to turn off the motorway, there was a knocking noise coming from inside the engine and a lack of power. I was able to keep this noise at bay by driving under 20,000 revs wich was quite tricky in some places.

Anyway in the end, I took it to a Seat Garage and told me the rotor arm had snapped off, had a massive oil leak, and would need a complete engine rebuild. At £42 hour labour i told them to do one and was looking around for a garage to do it for me in the south wales area.

So the question finally is: Due to the cost of getting it rebuilt, would it be easyer and cheaper just to buy a second hand/remanufactured engine?

And if anyone has any lnks of good used/remanufactured engine companies, I would be very greatful

there's a whole engine (inc box loom, ecu - which are all saleable) in the for sale section for £350

I'd buy that, and sell off the ancillaries you don't need

given a like for like swap it won't cost much to swap out (2 days labour if they're slow)

wheres the for sale section, pardon my ignorance

wouldnt happen to have an ignition coil going then would you?

sorry cant really help with the question whether to rebuild or buy now, id guess its not really worth rebuilding it

doing 20000 revs probably did it....

i thought the rev limiter was at 7200
