I have already done before other questions, now is a Volkswagen Golf GTI mk2, 91, 500,000 km, it is time to change and these are my doubts.

1) Would you could put the motor of the Golf Mk2 G60?; 2) Whether it can or not, would it be advisable to buy on the Internet that advertised with warranty, from scrapyards? 3) In the event that serve the G60, What is your number ID, for your request, they ask for what all contacts?

Response from our expert Miguel García-Puente

I have taken the hands to the head, with envy, I must say, to receive your letter. You’ve not only enjoyed a car you like -and at me for half a million kilometers, but also intend to give a new life. Now that’s ecology -through reutilización- and no other nonsense. Hands to the head is about the problems thought you could bring this change. And yes, commenting on one of those responsible for the VW Golf Club, tells me that the G60 It might not be the best choice. And originally it was a somewhat delicate engine, such as compressor, witty as a Wankel, was not the most appropriate or performance or reliability. Also, I suggest, I should not be many people who could work with these G compressors. Instead, it mentioned that to me many positive experiences of the engine change 1.8 T, both the mkI generations your mkII. In it they use the AGU or AUQ. The easiest thing to do is the AGU accelerator cable without secondary air pump or weird things.

I thought that would legalize serious problems, apart from a very high cost of implementation. But apparently the procedures are not so burdensome and have told me about 700 euros by keep record an engine change and more or less everything you want to change the car (suspension seats, brakes, etc). Of course, his is that items come from a "donor" or a junkyard. Yes, people should use "boards" in this kind of change better than launching alone.
