    Donedeal
    Or register on vagdrivers.net
    The guys over there would most likely know of someone selling or where you would get one.

    There are a good few different variations of TDI engines in these. What engine code is yours? What is wrong with the old engine?

    thanks for the replies, guys...

    I am looking aroung the scrap yards...

    the engine code is BKD...apparently its a rare engine type in Ireland...

    whats wrong with the old one??? nothing much... the timing belt went and did a lot of damage to the engine...and...it looks like replacing it works out cheaper and quicker...

    thanks again...

    Fixing it should be cheaper.
