Guest bobulos Posted March 4, 2005 Report Posted March 4, 2005 Hi, My friends V6 Galaxy has bent a valve or two and has been quoted a grand for an engine rebuild. Has anyone any ideas on how much a recondtioned V6 engine (about 8 years old) would cost ? Any help would be most appreciated. Quote
Guest vr6galaxy Posted March 4, 2005 Report Posted March 4, 2005 How bad is the damage? if it's just a few bent valves then a rebuild may be cheaper than swapping out the engine, although the most likely reason why the valves got bent will mean the removal of the gear box and the replaceing of the timeing chains, tensioners and guides and as the gear box is off you may as well replace the clutch while your there! VR6's can be picked up off the net if you know where to look? try searching through the VW tuners websites, VR's usually show up on the forums in the for sale sections Quote

Guest vr6galaxy Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 Does anyone know of any independant VW specialists in the Leicster area ? Try these, I use their Northampton branch and have no trouble with their work Quote
