Re: need a motor (MarkIImango)
got one with 76,000 og miles on block.
many new parts
new head bolts, all the gaskets, waterpump, thermo, all new VAG bottom bearings, rebuilt rods and ground/polished crank.
The wife ran the passat out of oil and spun a bearing. had the motor rebuilt and a tree fell on the car while the motor was out. it just sits there in the shed. never ran. i have nothing to put it in other than your car.
