reconditioned or low mailage engine???
- Thread starter sabri747

Reconditioned or just painted/cleaned
Find out what they did to it
Equally, why is a fairly old engine that's been out of production so long 'low mileage' - has it been sat? Have they just lied?

I agree with you totally. The reconditioned engine seller says their engines have done the following
NEW HEADGASKET
PRESSURE TESTED AND SKIMMED HEAD
Hh
NEW VALVE STEMS
ALL OIL SEALS
CRANK SHAFT POLISHED AND RENEWED
NEW BIG ENDS
NEW MAIN BEARINGS
NEW RINGS.

And the low mailage is just from breaking car for parts selling says the engine is in good condition
In our country this engine is rarely found in yards and if you find one it will be expensive!
Ask them to email you pictures of the reconditioning work?
Bit of searching shows the company to be known as 'Ideal Engines'... further searching shows they are to be avoided!

You seems to be in the reconditioned choice if they do it well, .. Do you prefer it than the low mailage one?
I'd not use that company full stop...
I don't like engines being opened up unless you can verify the engine builders skills...
Unfortunately they dont have link on website for their work shop but they posted that they encourage cthe customer to visit their workshop at 10000 SQ Ft to get satisfied. I appreciate anyone heard about them there
Unfortunately I have witnessed many times what reconditioning means. Sometimes it means, we ha two broken engines and we pieced together one working one, and painted it. Not saying that is always the case, but when money is to be made, corners sometimes get cut. Personally I would look for an engine from a rear ended car with FSH. But the world isn't always that easy.
You can buy 1.8t engines Farley cheap anyway I know as I sell them, so why not just buy a cheap block then rebuild it yourself atleast you know it's done then.?
I paid £700 for my complete engine. 42 k with all paperwork and service history. Didn't think that was bad considering turbo , starter motor etc was inc.
just make sure you get the right engine code unlike me. What a ball ache it was making it all work out of 2 engines. Engine is now on 110k and hasn't missed a beat ( apart from flaming coil packs and a few split pipes ) .

I could not import a car elders than 5 years old as my country low. If you meant to bay a complete cupra. ..
In my situation I have to based on what they post and their pic's and their customer feedback too . How could insure the seller honest
