Looking to get a new engine as mine is very noisy especially at startup with what sounds like piston slap :cry:

not really an engine write off but just embarrasin and annoying!

The shell is perfect and instead of selling it on and losing the money cos of the problem i thought spend that money on a new engine.

Iv got a 1.4 and im wondering what choices I have for a straight swap on the original mounts etc.

Can I use any mk2 or polo engine?

Also wheres the best place to get a decent 2nd hand engine from cos iv heard people on here talking bout under a couple hundred quid but the sites i found so far on the net are much more expensive.
 
You can have my 1.6 8v if you want from next weekend

needs some TLC, but has only 52k - that'll mate to the existing gearbox, and I imagine wiring loom too. I can supply engine/box/driveshafts/ECU/clocks (but no loom) for free
