Reckon if you broke the old engine down and ebayed or similar the parts they would pay for another engine.
What engine are you after? Could try www.autobreakers.com id be interested to know how much they cost.

the truth is, nothing is really wrong, yea theres a little back pressure but its just because the engines a bit worn, it will probably drive for another 5 years like that with no problems if you just clean out the airbox every service, its nothing to worry about.
i hope your right, dont have any money at all for a new engine lol, got a wager with my m8 though, if it is the head gasket that has gone, then i will buy the gasket set and get head skimmed but if its not the head gasket he will,
this is because he thinks the gasket has gone btw lol

well its pointless, it physically cant be the head gasket, its just the engines worn a bit, its normal, it really is nothing to worry about
I agree with G223. You got to expect this kind of thing from a car of our age. You might buy another second hand engine and in 10,000 miles time have the same problem. I have seen ibizas with 150k miles plus on the clock and I bet their airboxes have oil in them too.
Defo worth considering a breather filter on the pipe entering the box as it pretty much cleared my problem up and cost £14 from car shop.
