Wifes 97 UK 2000 Turbo engine is making the dreaded banging noises from the bottom end. (does a boxer have a bottom end, or is it a middle end? )


Anyone got a standard unmodified engine (coil pack on top job) or know of anywhere local (Peterborough/Cambridge) that will do a rebuild without needing a second mortgage. The prices I've seen so far are more than the car is worth


Whilst I'm on I may be needing a 5 speed manual box for my 97 Uk 2000 Turbo Wagon. (Having the same cars saves on arguaments LOL, and also useful when you cannot remember how something went back together, just look at the other one )

Or may just break wifes and use the box for mine, but she likes hers so would ideally like to save myself earache by getting it going again.


Heres hoping,
Tony : )

 

Speak to David @ Api, buying a secondhand engine can be fraught with danger unless you know exactly what you are looking for. Better to get a rebuild with a warranty.

my mate is breaking a my99 uk turbo wagon, pm me for his number

 

This engine wont be a straight swap, 99> phase2, 97/98 are phase1.5, 96< phase1 design. Only the short block will be compatible.

 

I got one £300 pm me

 

Looks like the gearbox is sorted, thanks everyone.

Still looking for a replacement engine tho, something cheap preferred as have purchased a replacement car, 53 WRX , so the urgency is gone. Just don't want to scrap the old girl, she's too nice.

If anyone wants to offer to take her away....

 

Engine still required

 

 

contact zen performance

 

if not and ur flush, buy my car its standard, lol

Thanks everyone for your help

Picked up an engine with near 35,000 miles less than the one that blew up and a gearbox with half the miles of the original today in my local area for good money

Will be fitting next week, then the green saloon will be up for sale. Anyone want a nice uk car with aircon, full closure alarm and REAR WASHWIPE?

Thanks again everbody

 

rear washwipe? very nice havent seen any yet?!

 

Yeah, very rare, like UK cars never had it fitted to save weight

Fitted a JDM import rear screen and washwipe about 3 months ago. The only real problem is that the JDM cars are bronze tint. Uk cars are green tint. Not really noticeable unless you are looking for it. An internal tint would sort it. Swap wiper switchgear and washer bottle for UK Wagon version. Simple wiring mod.

Why they thought it was uneccessary in UK I don't know.

PM me if you want more info on the mod. :-)
