This x2 mate. Get it changed....

Looking at about £1200 for rebuild and new belts Jimbo, at a specialist. No help unfortunately, I know people who do everything except mechanics.....my bad..

Have thought about this, looking at about 1k probs for engine and fitting. Would be wanting belts and waterpump doing for peace of mind tbh, so probs about 1.5k. Car has 117k on, but loads of history, and an 'easy' life if you like as previous owner was in Met. Police, so most of miles are...

Basically my cambelt went about a week ago. Not had it looked at yet so unsure as to damage, but obviously expecting the worst:dapprove: So what would you do in my situation? Think I know already myself but just wondering what you lot think. My favourable option at min, is to sell mine as it...

Feel for you mate, as mine went a week or so ago as well:dapprove:

PM Gaz mate. He's currently got one sorned with loads of history if I remember rightly . Is North of the border, but what a drive home to spend some quality time together!!!! Apologies if he's sold it and I missed it!!!

Cheers Jenic. Might take that up depending what i decide to do. Am about to sorn her for now as tax and mot are due at end of month as well, and skint is an understatement of my finances at min. Don't want to rush into anything, so until I decide if I'm gonna sell as is or repair, going to be...

Okay Fred cheers for info mate....

Am hoping replacement isn't needed yet but we'll see. What is best case scenario when cambelt has gone... Trying not to think about worst..

Cheers for replys guys. Out of interest would people still have belts done if engine came with history and receipts ?? Not looking forward to finding out how much damage there is............:(

How much would a reputable garage be charging as a ball park figure to swap a phs 1 172 engine for one from a donor car? Can anyone advise on roughly amount of hours. Cheers, keV...

Not seen or heard anything, but don't think it should be done tbh.

How much extra for waterpump then Fred, another hour???

Not bothered what sticker you've got Chris, but your car is stunning mate!!!:approve:

People will prob's disagree, but while it's in bits and for cost of part I'd change waterpump as well mate..

As a couple of specialists have posted in here, out of interest how much would labour be for an engine swap? And I guess you would recommend seeing the engine in donor car and also perhaps removing it? Feel for you chap having all the grief, if it makes a difference you're not the first and...

What else can I say, 100% certain my cambelt has just gone:dapprove: Considering sorning it as tax and mot are both up at end of month anyway. Don't want to go into too much detail as don't want to depress myself anymore, just got recovered home though and am gutted to say the least. Mega...

Post how you get on please mate, as I still need to get some for mine;)

Was looking at some on Ktec's site other day as well..

Just got home from work about 10mins ago and I think my car is possessed!! Took key out, and before I got out car started making a strange sort of clicking/ ticking noise?! Checked for bombs, but couldn't find any. While doing this a couple of dash lights were flashing on but very dim, oil...

Put it up for a swap in wanted section, for a STD exhaust and coue of beer tokens. Thinking of doing that with my Milltek...

Don't usually like agreeing with most others, but 2118's from me as well......

C'mon widdo. http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4ACAW_en___GB371&q=skoda%2bmansfield

Awesome result Russ!! Bet there's a few suprised BMW/ ST (and many other) drivers in your neck of the woods.;) When are you releasing the package including remap time (in the JMS style) then Russ? Paul could do the fitting and mapping for all us up North!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is 36k service including all belts mate? Do you have any belt history? Very clean and very STD, (cosmetically) as phs 1 's should be !!!

For the price mate of part, I'd change waterpump as well personally. Might as well while everything is off..

Your cars gone 'downhill' imo!!!!!!!!

This IMO. Or even better 16'' F1's;)

Did a bit of digging on warranties a while ago, some things to check in my experience. Some may be muddled as from memory. The wear and tear issue. The hourly labour rate, although with some this can be as high as you want, obviously reflected in premium. If you can use any garage, or their...

Phs 1 has lumpy idle with STD cams, so no dramas!!
