picked up an old ( 1981 ) vw rabbit diesel with a bad engine. Is this a very reasonable price quote to fix ?
Here is what the work will include:rebuild the engine, re bore all the cylinders, new pistons and rings , bearings, rods, gaskets/ seals, valve job, guide seals. The head of the engine is really bad so he will buy another head and resurface it. He will also put in a new clutch kit and resurface the fly wheel.
Also he replace a mount for the injection pump that was busted. He will replace a few different hoses , timing belt ..
Anyway, he said that the vehicle engine will be like new and if properly maintained can last a very very long time. The total quote was $2400 which includes the head that he has to buy along with rebuild kit. Volkswagen diesel mechanic is including rebuilt mentioned plus the various parts, the clutch kit. Should he put new valves too? said the cam / crank were fine? Someone mentioned that crank or cam sometimes will get reground during a rebuilt? all for 2400 installed and running great in his words... fair deal? anything else to be aware of?
My buddy has a VW Jetta that runs on bio-diesel. I remember that he spent more money than that on his car to get it running good and now he gets all his fuel free from restaurants.
