Hello all,

My 1.9 watercooled engine is fubar, head gasket has gone. I've been reading on various forums about alternative engines, there have been many various mentioned.

Is it true that the Seat Toledo is more or less identical to the VW? Anyone got one of these in?

I notice that Retroboy has a citreon engine in his T25, what model and how easy are these to fit?

Coverting to diesel isn't an issue I don't think....? How would such as a Peugot 1.9 diesel sit? Again anyone with any experience?

Can anyone recomend a good scrap yard or would it be better to buy the car and see it working then rip it out?

Sorry for so many questions!!

Cheers

I know someone very local who has a 2.1 litre T25 engine sat doing nothing if that helps? Think he wants about £150 for it.

Came out of a German registered Syncro - got written off whilst visiting the UK.

Don't actually have his number but I'll call over to his house and see when he's available (he only lives a block away from me!).
Being a German spec T25 engine, it has fuel injection but unfortunatly the ECU was lost when the van was scrapped so you'll have to transfer the carb and manifold from your old engine.

You can fit Golf/Passat/Audi etc engines into T25s as the bellhousing is pretty much the same BUT... you need to change the sump to a South African T25 sump as the engine has to be about 45 degrees off centre (I think) so the sump has to be a weird shape to maintain the correct oil flow. To put it another way - you're proberbly better off getting another T25 engine!

bugger bugger bugger! Nevermind. I was on the phone to phil at the time, he was bamboozling me with stuff about engines!!

I'll take a look but fear it may be beyond my capabilities!! I might just get an aircooled engine for now to get me up and running and keep my eye out for a wasserbox or alternatively buy a new/recon one....where would you recommend buying one from????
