        Hello and welcme.

        Sorry to hear about the poorly engine.

        There's loads of options...a second hand 19, a recon, maybe even a 1.8T petrol??

        Money and budget will be the deciding factor for sure.

          i might rebuild it as it was a brilliant engine until wednesday when the key gave out on the bottom timing pulley. all the exhaust valves are bent from taking the cam out will get the head off over the next few days/nights and make a decision. will need the shells checked as well due to hitting the valves at 60 on the motorway. so thinking an other engine will be the cheapest and quickest option.

              TDI it! You've got all the bits... Why bother with a rebuild of an (sorry S49) underpowered engine?

                    Yeah... You can tdi it...I think it's a mk3 engine you need but I can't be sure.

                    Someone will be along soon to confirm.
